Unusual Embroidered Stamps from Luxembourg (Letzebuerg) 2025

Unusual and odd-shaped stamps have always been loved by avid stamp collectors. Beautiful unusual stamps like stamps printed on different materials, stamps made from unique materials, etc are always rare in the world of philately.
While Luxembourg is known for issuing unusual stamps from time to time; this time Luxembourg has issued an embroidered stamp made of cloth.

2025 marks the 25th anniversary of HRH Grand Duke Henri’s accession to the throne.

On 7 October 2000, HRH the Grand Duke was formally sworn in at the Chamber of Deputies, where he took the constitutional oath and pledged to observe the Constitution and the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and to maintain the national independence and integrity of the territory, as well as public and individual liberties.

In his first speech as Grand Duke, he highlighted the fundamental values that characterise social harmony, emphasising that solidarity, justice, tolerance, mutual respect and humanity form the backbone of a civilised society. The promotion of an inclusive society remains one of HRH’s priorities to this day. Shortly after his inauguration, TRH the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess made official visits to France (9-10 October 2000) and Germany (11-12 October 2000) to help maintain the close relations Luxembourg enjoys with these two neighbouring countries. Between April 2001 and June 2002, they travelled through all twelve cantons of Luxembourg in order to get to know the different regions of the country better and, above all, to strengthen their connection with the people of Luxembourg.

HRH the Grand Duke takes a keen interest in a wide range of topics and issues that are important to the Grand Duchy, and he is committed to promoting and conveying the country’s strengths and values around the world. The issues of nature conservation and environmental protection, as well as the health and social benefits of sport, are amongst his priorities.

What do you think about this embroidered stamp from Luxembourg (Letzebuerg)?

Today, 193 countries worldwide are members of the United Nations and try to defuse conflicts in the world peacefully and in multilateral exchange, to find solutions together and to promote human rights.

Scouting 2007 Centenary Stamps and FDC from Luxembourg

A magnificent First Day Cover from Luxembourg is here to recharge your collecting and scouting senses.
This FDC from Luxembourg was issued to mark the Centenary of Scouting in 2007. The Scouting 2007 Centenary included celebrations around the globe and festivities took place in a scouting way.
You can read more details from here: Scouting 2007 Centenary

The FDC was issued with two stamps, The first stamp on the right-hand side depicts a world globe and children of different races holding hands. The stamp also depicts a reef-knot which is the symbol of scouting around the planet. It is an EUROPA Stamp and is of 0.70 denomination.
The second stamp on the left-hand side is of 0.50 face value and depicts a scouting camp and a camp fire. It seems to be a painting made by a kid. It is also an EUROPA Stamp from Luxembourg.
I love this FDC. Can anyone tell me why this hat is on the cover? Is it a scouting symbol in Luxembourg or there is some other story behind it???
