Description
Our Mauritian flag is constructed in the United States from high-quality nylon, a material built for fray and weather resistance. The four stripes are digitally printed for vibrant, bright colors that resist fading, even when flown in direct sunlight.
Each flag comes equipped with a sturdy canvas header and brass grommets for secure attachment to any of our outdoor flagpoles. We offer the Mauritius flag in sizes 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, and 6’ x 10’. Check out our table of common pole heights and their proportional flag size for assistance. Keep in mind that a flag’s length should ideally be a quarter of the flagpole’s height.

Mauritius Flag Meaning & History
The Mauritian flag, also known as the Four Bands or Les Quatre Bandes, was adopted on March 12, 1968, when the country declared independence from the British Empire. It was designed by school teacher Gurudutt Moher.
The four colors were initially chosen to represent the major political parties in power during the 1960s. Each color now has an official meaning as well. The red symbolizes the fight for independence, the blue is for the Indian Ocean, the yellow is for guiding light and freedom, and the green stands for the island’s agriculture and landscape.
