"Crédit Agricole" 90's Gold bull lapel pin

"Crédit Agricole / Arthus Bertrand Paris"
Late 80's-90's gold-tone bull head lapel pin

From Crédit Agricole, a financial group representative of France, and Arthus Bertrand Paris, a venerable Parisian house renowned for crafting medals and medallions, we present a standout piece distinguished by its sculptural beauty.

While it suggests a background suitable for corporate novelties and commemorative gifts, its glossy gold color and three-dimensional bull motif give it an ornamental presence that goes beyond a mere pin badge.

The surface is finished in a bright gold color with a mirror-like sheen. The form shaped like the bull’s head carefully renders details such as the horns, forehead, and shadows around the face. As it catches the light, it delivers a distinct presence despite its compact size—so simply adding it to your jacket lapels, hat, or bag lends your look an intelligent accent reminiscent of French vintage style.

On the back, you can confirm a manufacturer’s stamp that appears to read Arthus Bertrand Paris. In addition, the cursive CA logo within the square frame aligns with the logo design used by Crédit Agricole from 1987 onward. Therefore, while it is not possible to identify the exact manufacturing year with strict precision, it is natural to consider the piece as having been made in the late 1980s to around the 1990s.

As no material stamp can be found, we cannot definitively determine the metal type. However, in the images, the gold-colored metal appears to have a texture as though it were plated. On the back, you can see an uneven, cast-like appearance. It is held in place by a central post and a circular clutch, making it practical and easy to incorporate into everyday styling.

Its appeal lies not in flamboyance like high jewelry, but in the quiet rarity unique to corporate pins and the sense of refined craftsmanship from a long-established French manufacturer. It is especially recommended for those who wish to incorporate vintage accessories tastefully, or for anyone who wants to add depth to an outfit with meaningful accessories.

For styling, you can naturally create a classic look by pairing it with navy or charcoal tailored jackets. It can also add a touch of elegance and playful charm to everyday casual outfits by attaching it to canvas tote bags or a wool cap.

Whether as a collectible French vintage piece or as a small everyday accent, it is undoubtedly an excellent choice. Please take this opportunity.
