🕰️ A Glimpse into the Rich History of Amsterdam:

Founded as a small fishing village in the late 12th century, Amsterdam got its name from a dam built on the Amstel River — hence, “Amstel + Dam.” Over the centuries, this humble village transformed into a global powerhouse of trade, culture, and finance.

💡 During the Dutch Golden Age in the 17th century, Amsterdam became one of the richest cities in the world. It was the center of a global trading network powered by the Dutch East India Company, the first multinational corporation. The city's innovative canals, still admired today, were developed during this era to support its booming economy.

🏛️ Amsterdam also has a long-standing legacy of freedom and tolerance, becoming a haven for thinkers, artists, and persecuted groups. It’s the birthplace of influential artists like Rembrandt and Van Gogh, and home to the tragic yet globally significant Anne Frank House.

Today, Amsterdam continues to stand as a symbol of open-mindedness, creativity, and resilience — a city where history breathes through every street, canal, and café.

So, when you wear this patch, you’re not just sporting a name — you’re carrying a century-spanning story of innovation, independence, and inspiration. 🇳🇱✨

🔥 Iron-On Application Guide:

1. Set your iron to the cotton setting (no steam) 🔥

2. Lay your garment flat and preheat the patch area for 10–15 seconds.

3. Place the patch adhesive side down, design facing up.

4. Cover with a cloth or parchment paper 🧻

5. Press iron firmly for 30–40 seconds, especially the edges.

6. Flip and press the reverse side for another 20 seconds.

7. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before handling.

✅ Best on cotton, canvas, or denim. For long-term wear, sew it too!

🪡 How to Sew On the Patch:

1. Secure the patch with pins.

2. Use a needle and white or invisible thread.
