Sofia Handmade Wayuu Hat
Sofia Handmade Wayuu Hat
Discover the vibrant, handmade Wayuu Hat — a true boho-chick masterpiece woven from high-quality Iraca palm fibers. This hat blends a natural beige base with subtle lavender and bright lime green accents, brought to life with stunning red and brown pompoms and a colorful braided band.
Handcrafted by Wayuu artisans in Colombia and Venezuela, each hat takes roughly 8 hours of meticulous work, transforming natural materials into a wearable piece of art. The large, tri-color pompoms are not only decorative — in Wayuu culture, they symbolize wealth and prosperity.
Designed for versatility, the hat offers an adjustable fit and multiple styling options: wear it low for sun protection, tip it back for a laid-back beach vibe, or upright for a bold, confident look. Whether you’re poolside or exploring town, this colorful handmade straw hat makes a culturally rich, stylish statement.
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.
