Macuira Sun Hat - Hibiscus

HANDMADE IN LA GUAJIRA
BY GARY GONZALEZ

The eye-catcher for a perfect summer outfit. The crown of our Macuira Hibiscus is adorned with a central motif of waves which complements the sober red and natural stripes pattern of the hat.

The Macuira sun hats are hand-braided in small batches by artisans of the Wayuu tribe, featuring geometric patterns typical from their culture. The Wayuu weave flat yarns of Mawisa or Isii straw bands, sourced from a local palm growing in the only green spot of La Guajira peninsula using the traditional weaving technique known as Sarga.

Each hand-crafted by Gary González and take up to two days to complete.
