FINDING YOUR HAT SIZE:
To find your personal hat size, you will have to measure the circumference of your head. You'll need either a flexible tape-measure or a long piece of fabric (i.e. scarf or string) and a ruler. Simply wrap it around your head about 2-3" above your eyebrows to find the circumference.
Please read the description for each product to understand if there's any changes or design notes to take into account.
HAT CARE:
If your hat is losing it’s shape or stiffness, you can easily reshape it at home. You will need an iron, ironing board, and damp sheet or cloth. Place the hat on an ironing board with a damp sheet covering brim where the iron will make contact. This will avoid the iron burning or scaring your hat. With steam, gradually iron the brim of your hat. Once done ironing, let your hat cool on a hard and flat surface for at least 10 mins.
If your hat needs a tune-up, we recommend using a soft bristle brush or lint roller to lightly clean it. If you have any stains on your hat, you can use an all-natural soap and white damp cloth to remove the stain. On our wool hats, stains may come out by using sandpaper. If your hat gets wet, allow it to dry on a flat surface so it maintains its shape.
BAG CARE:
Cabuya, the natural plant fiber we use for our bags, is plant dyed and spun by hand. Cabuya is a very strong and durable fiber, and it also softens and its character deepens with wear.
If you end up with a spot or stain on your bag, gently rub the spot with a damp white towel using a gentle, natural soap. It is important to understand that natural, plant-dyed fibers should be washed by hand in cold water and limited chemicals. Given it’s all-natural makeup, using harsh detergents or machine washing your bag will result in color fade. Hang or sit out to dry.

Since our bucket hats are crocheted natural fiber that means they are bendable and flexible! Pack your hat in your suitcase or in the back of your car for a roadtrip and it'll come back to it's shape.
A Tradional Craft Made from Plants
Our artisan partners use Cabuya, a native agave fiber, to make and crochet our Bucket Hats. To access the fiber, our artisan partners harvest the Penca plant and break down its leaves to access the fiber that lives inside to be processed into workable thread.
People have been crafting products from cabuya for thousands of years. In fact, it was one of the first plant fibers processed for commercial use, but sadly with the introduction of plastics, its need has slowly decreased. Our artisan partners represent some of the last communities still using this age-old method.
Colored by Nature
The beautiful tones on our woven bucket hats are made from plants. Our artisan partners collect organic matter like tree barks, leaves and berries to botanically dye and process the fiber.
