Black... - Lot 305 - Lucien Paris
FIVE FALUCHES AND A CAP OF CARABINS
Black velvet with metal or embroidered fabric insignia, one with Paris blue and red braid.
c. 1900.
The faluche is the traditional headdress of the students of France. Introduced in France in 1888, it replaced the doctoral cap dating from the Middle Ages. It is a black velvet beret decorated with coloured ribbons and badges. It is named after the faluche, a typical bread from the North of France and the region of Tournai (in Picardy, Belgium), whose shape is similar. The faluche is worn by several neighbouring student traditions, notably the bitards and the faluchards. Over time, the faluche has been associated almost exclusively with the faluchards, while other folklores wear it. The wearing of the faluche has fallen sharply into disuse since the late 1960s. During the student movements of May 1968, the faluche was designated, in some faculties, as a symbol of reactionary militancy and submission to the mandarinate.
