Explore the exceptional artistry of our Artisan Wayuu Hat, a vibrant and colorful accessory crafted by hand from premium Iraca palm fiber by the skilled Wuitusu artisans of the Wayuu tribe in Colombia and Venezuela. Each hat represents a unique masterpiece, requiring about 8 hours to meticulously weave and shape, reflecting the rich traditions and unique craftsmanship of the Wayuu people.
This artisan hat offers an adjustable fit to suit various head sizes, making it an ideal gift for her. It can be styled in several ways—fully lowered for extensive sun protection, with the front tilted down and the back up for a chic look, or entirely upright for a modern vibe—ensuring both practicality and style.
The colorful pompoms adorning each hat are not just eye-catching; they also carry significant cultural meanings within the Wayuu community. For instance, larger pompoms symbolize financial prosperity, adding a layer of cultural significance to each piece.
While the standard head opening is approximately 21 inches, customization is available to ensure a better fit. (please contact us if you need a smaller or bigger size -Click Here-) Additionally, each purchase generously supports the Wayuu Taya Foundation, with $50 from your purchase at Wuitusu helping to feed five Wayuu children.
By choosing our Handmade Wayuu Hat, you not only elevate your fashion statement but also support ethical trade practices and aid in preserving the invaluable Wayuu culture. Wuitusu is devoted to fair trade, proudly associated with the Fair Trade LA organization, and upholds fair trade principles at every level of our operations.

I’m very happy with my bag! Beautiful colors and quality workmanship! I’ll be buying more bags and a hat if I can ever choose! So many terrific options!
Thrilled with my Wuitusu hat. I've been eyeing one for a while. I love that you can select the exact hat that you want. Ordering was easy and customer service was great. Highly recommend!
This bag is an amazing piece of art and a great statement piece. Really easy to pair with jeans and boots or a vintage blazer, joggers and sneakers. Can't wait to get more pieces as holiday gifts!
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.
It’s not only exceptionally well made it beautiful!
I picked one that will work with my mostly black wardrobe . It’s perfect for farmers market and everyday!
I saw this in the window as I was walking hy and fell in love. After purchasing it, I am pleased to say that the hand made craftsmanship is extraordinary! Not only is it beautiful and functional, I feel happy just carrying it. It's soft and vibrant, and holds a lot of my necessities! I truly adore this bag!
I absolutely love my black coverup & beach bag.
The quality is amazing, I was asked numerous times where I bought My Outfit! Capri loves Wuitusu ~ so do I.

This bag is simply gorgeous!!! So well made. The color is so cool, great for the summer. One thing though, the strap needs to be longer. The strap is very short. I'd definitely, definitely, definitely pay more for a longer strap. Stunning work.
They are so beautifully made. Going to order two more. I have two already. They are the perfect birthday gift!.
the hat is beautiful, but the color of the sash was not what I expected. The color is way off. I wish I could exchange it for another color
I love the hat! Very unique!
Beautifully made
So cute! Great quality.
