Everything You Need to Know About Bullion Patches

Bullion patches are the best of the best. Here’s what you should know about these ultra-luxury custom patches.

We offer many types of custom patches at THE/STUDIO, including embroidered, woven, printed, PVC, chenille, and leather patches. Beyond that (and your one-of-a-kind patch design) there are TONS of add-ons and special options you can choose to make your patch unique.

But there’s no other way to say it— bullion patches are the creme de la creme. These are our most luxurious patches, fit for royalty!

There’s a reason why high-end international fashion brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton use bullion patches in their designs. Bullion patches have a rich history, they’ve actually been worn by kings and queens in the past, and are also commonly worn as ceremonial patches in the military today. Made out of gold and silver bullion wire which is then hand-stitched into the patch material, bullion patches give off a shiny, eye-catching appeal that no other patch style can match. And yes, that’s right. ALL bullion patches are handmade. Machines can’t make these glorious patches.

As a result, they are the most expensive patch option (200 patches from $9.31 each), but we think they’re well worth the price, and our customers do too!
