But who were the Brigantes, and why are they so important?
The Brigantes were a powerful tribe that dominated northern England for centuries, long before the arrival of the Romans in Britain. Their territory covered a vast area, including modern-day Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Cumbria.
They were known for their fierce independence and military prowess, and they were skilled in agriculture, metalworking, and trade. They had their own language and customs, and their culture was shaped by their connections with other Celtic tribes in the region.
The Brigantes were also known for their resistance against Roman occupation. In the early years of the Roman conquest, they allied with the Romans against other tribes but later rebelled against Roman rule, leading to a long and bloody conflict.
These headcovers pay tribute to the legacy of this ancient tribe, capturing their spirit of independence, strength, and innovation. The use of locally sourced leather from Leeds and the unique design features are a nod to the Brigantes' mastery of craftsmanship and trade, while the range of colors reflects their cultural and historical significance.
