Vintage enamel pin Le Bambou Le Mourillon beach sun 90s advertising

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage enamel advertising pin depicts a stylized summer scene, typical of the 1990s. The visible side shows a beach setting with a bright yellow sun in relief, an intense blue sky, a golden beach, and a two-tone (yellow and green) parasol. Two bamboo stem motifs frame the scene on the sides, accentuating the visual identity of the place evoked.

The inscription "LE BAMBOU LE MOURILLON" appears in green capital letters on a green background, at the bottom of the pin. The lettering is neat, regular, and clearly legible. The whole is treated with colored enamel and a glossy finish, offering a strong contrast between the golden, blue, yellow, and green areas.

The overall shape of the pin is irregular, following the contour of the decoration, which gives it a dynamic and original silhouette. The details of the beach, sun, and parasol are sharp, with a precise finish, characteristic of late 20th-century enameled productions.

The backing visible in the photo is a red velvet case, not included unless otherwise stated. No other accessories or elements are visible in the provided image.

This pin is typical of promotional items distributed in the 90s by seaside establishments or beach bars, specifically for "Le Bambou" located on Mourillon beach.
