Now for something a little out of the ordinary! Vivandieres were women who accompanied armies and performed canteen duties for the troops - they later became known as Cantinieres as a result. This will really add some flavor to your Napoleonic army!

Painted Vivandiere

Exempt from the 1793 "Law to Rid the Army of Useless Women," Vivandieres would follow the French army and sell the soldiers food, drink, and sundries like tobacco, wig powder, and writing paper and ink. They were married to soldiers called "Vivandiers," who were the only soldiers granted permission to sell goods. Too busy fighting and drilling to sell, naturally this duty fell to their wives.

Painted Vivandiere

Our Vivandiere comes with two different right arms (one with pistol at the ready, and the other clasping her trusty basket of wares) and two different heads. Not only that, but her faithful donkey is also laden with provisions for her to further assist her military charges.

Don't forget: We have free shipping worldwide during May....
