Wide Brim Bolga Straw Hat

£80.00

A textural wide brim hat - a modern interpretation of the classic straw form.

Handwoven by weavers in Bolgatanga, Ghana from Elephant Grass for a lightweight and durable finish. Bolga basket and hat weaving is a long-established craft of northern Ghana, passed down through generations and shaped by place, material and time.

The hat is hand-dyed individually, therefore no two pieces are exactly alike. Subtle variations are part of the weaving process and give each piece its individual character.

Available in small, medium and large.
