The meaning of the double-headed eagle

The Shqiponja – the double-headed eagle – is the centerpiece of the Albanian flag and one of the oldest symbols of Albanian identity. It looks in two directions: a symbol of vigilance, strength, and the ability to connect past and future.

The minimalist dog tag design presents this symbol in its purest form – no distractions, no overload. Just the eagle. Just the statement.
