Crown Out: Features a unique crown out design, a feature that caters to those with locs, braids, updos, or other big hairstyles. This design allows you to wear the hat by pulling your hair through its center, making it a perfect fit for your unique style. It's also a hit among those who love fringes or prefer a visor style that allows more air to access the top of the head.

Eco-Friendly: Our raffia hat is not just a fashion statement but a sustainability commitment. Crafted from natural Raffia and other renewable and sustainable raw materials, it's a testament to our dedication to the environment. All colorings on this hat were completed using a long-lasting vegetable-based dye, further reducing our carbon footprint. Its dual layer of fine woven Raffia allows the hat to offer UPF 50+/SPF 30+ sun protection, making it the perfect choice for extended outdoor activities. 

Care: This hat can be spot-cleaned using cold water and a clean cloth. Do not use chemical detergent, which may stain the hat and cause discoloration.

Durability: Hats are made of natural fibers and colored with vegetable-based dyes. Over time, hats may soften slightly & colors may fade slightly when exposed to direct sunlight for long, extended periods. This is normal when using natural fibers & dyes.

Reshaping: Packing and handling may soften this hat over time; if this happens, you can use these steps to reshape it. When reshaping is required, spray a little water on the hat, use a steam iron on low to medium heat on the inside, and lightly press, being careful not to overpress. At the same time, the desired shape is achieved, allowing the hat to air dry completely away from the direct sunlight; this step will bring your hat back to shape.
