This fisherman inspired hat is made entirely by hand from discarded cotton fabrics.
The top is hand-woven using rag weaving, building a textured surface that carries the memory of the materials it came from.
The brim is hand-embroidered using the Japanese technique Kugurizashi Sashiko, with a turtle-shell pattern that echoes the idea of nets and the quiet repetition of the stitch.
Dyed by hand with natural indigo, the hat reveals gentle shifts of blue, from deep navy to lighter tones, giving a sense of depth and movement, this item will get a beautiful fade with time.
This piece is one of a kind, hand-woven, hand-embroidered, and lined with soft cotton for comfort.
