Description
Proudly represent the island country of Haiti with a durable national flag!
Our flag of Haiti is manufactured in the United States using high-quality nylon, a lightweight fabric that flies beautifully even in gentle breezes. Nylon’s lightness also means that it can dry quickly after becoming wet from rain or humidity, helping prevent mildew growth. The iconic stripes and coat of arms are digitally printed for deep, vibrant colors and intricate details. These flags are also fade-resistant thanks to the specialized inks used in the printing process.
These Haitian flags are equipped with a durable canvas heading and brass grommets for secure attachment to any of our outdoor flagpoles. We offer them in sizes 12” x 18” through 6’ x 10’. The 3’ by 5’ Haiti flag is our bestselling option and is an excellent fit for our 6’ house-mounted pole.
Please note that the 12” x 18” flag is the civil ensign and does not bear the coat of arms.

Haiti Flag Colors, Meaning & History
The Republic of Haiti first adopted the modern Haitian flag in 1806, two years after the end of the Haitian Revolution from France. The original design had a much bigger coat of arms. According to legend, Catherine Flon, a Haitian seamstress, created the flag. On May 18, 1803, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the leader of the Haitian revolution and Flon’s godfather, cut through a French flag. The white stripe was discarded, and Flon sewed the blue and red stripes together to create a new national flag.
In the center of the flag is Haiti's national coat of arms, on which a trophy of weapons and a royal palm tree are shown to represent independence. The state motto of “L'Union fait la Force,” or “Unity makes strength,” is written underneath.
When is Haitian Flag Day?
Haiti celebrates Flag Day each year on May 18, the anniversary of the first national flag sewn by Catherine Flon. This holiday is honored both within Haiti and among the international Haitian diaspora. Major US cities with significant Haitian communities, such as New York, Boston, and Miami, hold festivities.
