🌍 Cultural background

The Albanian flag with the double-headed eagle has its roots in the time of Gjergj Kastrioti Skënderbeu , Albania's national hero. His banner, which he carried in the 15th century, inspired the current national flag. Since then, the eagle has symbolized strength, independence, and pride. Every Albanian symbol—whether on clothing, jewelry, or accessories—carries this meaning. Therefore, the keychain is not just a fashion statement, but a piece of identity.
