The Portuguese Rooster of Barcelos Fabric
The Portuguese Rooster of Barcelos is the unofficial symbol of Portugal and one of its most recognisable icons. Inspired by an old pilgrim’s legend, the clay figurines were first just a powerful symbol of truth and justice. From the 1950s onwards the Portuguese Barcelos Rooster became a symbol of national tourism propaganda efforts and Portuguese culture. The rooster is depicted in tourist posters to promote Portugal’s folklore, traditions, landscapes, and also the hospitality and simple way of life of the Portuguese. Today it remains a source of inspiration for many Portuguese artisans and graphic artists. Tourists travelling to Portugal can’t miss it as the red big crested rooster is everywhere from north to south. The “Galo de Barcelos” makes a welcome addition to any home. It will be a thoughtful housewarming gift for a friend, co-worker, teacher, or a relative of Portuguese nationality - they will undoubtedly appreciate it. Or, maybe you just want a Portuguese souvenir while you dream about your summer trip to Portugal! There are two versions of this illustration, one has light dots, and the other has dark dots.

I am very impressed with the personalised fabric I received. I am making a cot quilt for my beautiful granddaughters 1st birthday. Her mother lives ladybugs so this is perfect. I could pick the font as well. Being able to pick what font you wanted was a big bonus. Looks great in my eyes

I bought this fabric to make some homewares for a Citroen fanatic.
Hit the spot perfectly.
Quality base fabric and the car graphics are well done. Great printing, colours as I expected.
I did not a border of unprinted fabric around the graphics which didn’t worry me but may affect some.
The graphic does not spread from selvedge to selvedge.
