Artisan Handwoven Wayuu Bucket Hats and Hatbands
Ethically and Sustainably sourced from Colombian Artisan and Indigenous women-owned businesses
Authentic Wayuu Tribal Bucket Hats and Hatbands are expertly handwoven by matriarchal Wayuu Indigenous Artisan women.
Casa Bonita's vibrant, unique and intrinsic bucket hats and hatbands are exquisitely handcrafted by Sandra Aguilar and her family.
The Wayuu Tribal legend, shares that a sacred spider taught women the skill of weaving. The artisans continue their connection with their cosmos by weaving nature and culture into the colours and designs of each woven piece, while preserving Indigenous ancestral techniques.
Our Wayuu bucket hats and hatbands, are the absolute representation of the Wayuu women's dreams and creativity. Each design is unique to the individual weaver, who tell their story through the geometric beauty and the deep spiritual message they carry.
Each Wayuu bucket hat is handwoven using Mawisa Palm, a native South American palm. The Wayuu hatbands are handwoven using naturally dyed high quality yarn threads and traditional techniques, creating this unique and powerful accessory.
