🌿 Discover the Ruth Handmade Boho Wayuu Straw Hat

Handcrafted to perfection, the Ruth hat is a stunning blend of tradition and modern boho chic. This handmade Wayuu hat is woven from high-quality Iraca palm fibers by gifted Wayuu artisans across Colombia and Venezuela. With deep black, natural straw beige, and golden brown zigzag and chevron motifs, it exudes elegance in every thread. The base is trimmed with rich brown pompoms, symbolizing wealth and cultural heritage within the Wayuu community.


👒 Wear It Your Way

  • 💫 Approximately 21" head opening (note: slight variations occur due to handmade nature)

  • 🌞 Style fully lowered for sun coverage

  • 🎯 Tip front down/back up for relaxed, boho flair

  • 🧘♀️ Upright for a sharp, structured silhouette


🧶 Artisan Craftsmanship & Meaning

Each bohemian straw hat requires ~8 hours of hand weaving and represents generations of matriarchal Wayuu tradition. The large pompoms aren't just decoration — they’re symbols of prosperity. And if you're into customizing? You can even add extra pompoms here to enhance or change the look.

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.
