Product Description: Discover the unique and colorful world of Wuitusu's handmade straw hats, crafted with meticulous care by the artisans of the Wayuu tribe across Colombia and Venezuela. Each hat is woven from the finest quality Iraca palm fibers that are carefully treated and dyed, embodying a labor of love that spans about 8 hours to perfect. Wuitusu’s artisan hats offer versatile styling options; wear them fully down for maximum face protection from the sun, tilt the front down with the back up for a stylish angle, or style them fully up for a chic, bohemian look. The adjustable design ensures a comfortable fit for a variety of head sizes. In Wayuu culture, the pompoms attached to these hats are not just decorative but carry significant cultural value, symbolizing financial stability—the larger the pompom, the greater the prosperity. This vibrant, artisan-crafted hat has a head opening of approximately 21 inches but can be adjusted slightly smaller or larger to suit your preference. CLICK FOR EXTRA POMPOMS Wuitusu is committed to fair trade practices at every level of her business and is a proud member of the Fair Trade LA organization.

Most Gorgeous & Fabulous Hat Ever

I saw this hat on Instagram and just had to have one. Although picking out just one was challenging, I finally committed to a colorful yellow, blue, and black combo. The hat arrived very quickly, and I was thrilled to be able to wear it before summer's end. It was a bit tight on my head, but I followed the video instructions, and it was super easy to get the perfect fit and shape for my tastes. Everywhere I go, I get compliments, and I have already decided that I am going to order a few more because each hat is unique and more beautiful than the last. RAVE reviews! I'm almost reluctant to tell anyone where I purchased the hat, but I'm spreading the word far and wide because the proceeds benefit the talented weavers and artisans.
