Discover the vibrant, handmade Wayuu Hat, a unique artisan treasure, expertly woven from high-quality Iraca palm fibers by gifted Wayuu artisans across Colombia and Venezuela. Each hat represents about 8 hours of dedicated craftsmanship, transforming natural materials into a unique, colorful piece of wearable art.
This radiant Boho Straw Hat showcases a captivating contrast between natural tan palm fibers and vibrant turquoise woven accents. The geometric patterns are a nod to Wayuu heritage, and the craftsmanship speaks volumes of the care and precision behind every stitch. Wrapped around the base is a soft turquoise wool band, tied off with bold, fluffy turquoise pompoms—a cultural touch symbolizing prosperity and expression in Wayuu tradition.
The hat offers a flexible fit that works for multiple head sizes and can be styled in three distinct ways: fully lowered for serious sun shielding, front-tipped down for relaxed flair, or upright for a more composed, elegant statement. Light yet durable, this Boho Chick Straw Hat is the ideal companion for sun-drenched adventures, artisan markets, and everything in between.
Bring together color, craftsmanship, and culture with this colorful, handmade Wayuu masterpiece.
The hats feature a roughly 21-inch head opening, with customization options available for a tailored fit. (Contact us for size adjustments - Click Here). Your purchase directly supports the Wayuu community, with Wuitusu contributing $50 from each sale to help feed five Wayuu children, in collaboration with the Wayuu Taya Foundation.
Enhance your collection with our unique Wayuu Hat, emblematic of rich tradition, meticulous craftsmanship, and a steadfast commitment to ethical practices. Wuitusu prides itself on adhering to fair trade practices throughout its business and is an active member of the Fair Trade LA organization, dedicated to preserving and promoting Wayuu culture.

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.

Sabrina Handmade Wayuu Hat
So beautiful!!!
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.

I love Hats
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
