Chevron

The chevron pattern seems to be everywhere these days and I, for one, love it.  I did a little research and was pleasantly surprised to find that this little upside down V-shaped symbol dates back to the Middle Ages.  It means rafter and symbolizes a roof-peak on a house or protection.  It historically has been used as an insignia on military and police uniforms..... but has certainly found a following among designers today.  Here are a few of my current favorites; all found on Etsy.....
