Peniti

Peniti adalah sebuah alat yang sering digunakan untuk menggabungkan bahan kain.

Asal

Peniti kuno berasal dari Mycenaeans sejak abad ke-14 sebelum masehi (akhir jaman Mycenaean III). Dikenal dengan nama fibulae (fibula) dan digunakan untuk fungsi yang sama seperti peniti modern. Faktanya, fibulae pertama pada abad 14 dan 13 sebelum masehi berbentuk seperti peniti. Fibulae asli dijelaskan dalam buku karya Chr. Blinkenberg's 1926 Fibules grecques et orientales.

Peniti diciptakan kembali pada Juli 1849 oleh Walter Hunt, seorang penemu asal Amerika. Hak cipta peniti ini telah dijual seharga $400.^[1]

Culture

According to Dick Hebdige, since the mid-1970s in Great Britain, the punk subculture has incorporated safety pins in the punk style to represent a 'cut up' look of the post-war working class youth. The look was taken originally from Richard Hell whom the British punks saw in pictures in Punk magazine (among other places) and adopted his style.^[2]
