Portepees

The portepee was traditionally worn with swords and sabers in the past.
Over time, the use of sabers and swords has decreased, but the traditions have persisted.
It is still quite common to use portepees, known as "Schlagband" in Switzerland.
The portepees we manufacture are exclusively handmade.

We offer various shapes:
- small, round tassel
- large, round tassel
- small, oval tassel
- large, oval tassel
- open tassel

The materials used are typically aluminum wire or copper wire, which is sometimes silver-plated or even gold-plated.
To attach the portepee, braids or round cords, also produced by us, are used.
Artistic finishes are provided either by spike sliders or even more refined "boots" attached to the tassel shape.
All military authorities worldwide that still use edged and stabbing weapons rely on our portepees.
