MATERIALS + PROCESS

Our straw hats are made by a group of artisans in a small mountain town near Cuenca, Ecuador. We partner with a fourth generation family of hat-makers to add the finishing touches. Our hats are handmade and one-of-a-kind. This means that no two are exactly alike and almost all contain irregularities from size to color. Please allow for slight imperfections as this is what adds to the unique character of each hat and band.

Inspired by generational craftsmanship, we honor our artisan communities as individuals and artists and celebrate a craft that’s been around for generations. We are committed to creating products that support heirloom practices.
