Capture the timeless coastal charm of "The Tar Heel State" with this premium embroidered iron-on patch! Inspired by North Carolina's world-famous Outer Banks coastline, the design features a classic vintage lighthouse silhouette standing strong against vibrant, 1970s-inspired retro sunset stripes. Marked with "Established 1789" to honor the historic year North Carolina officially ratified the constitution and joined the union as the 12th state, this patch beautifully blends maritime history with a trendy, modern lifestyle aesthetic.
Crafted with high-density embroidery and an easy-to-apply iron-on backing, it is perfect for customizing denim jackets, sun hats, canvas backpacks, beach tote bags, and travel gear. The clean retro coastal look makes it a popular choice for beachgoers, road-trip travelers, Outer Banks visitors, and Americana souvenir collectors.
