Better sun protection

Wider brim than our bucket hats helps protect you from the sun in every direction. No sunburnt ears or necks on our watch.

Built for activity

Adjustable cord allowing you to take the Boonie on whatever adventure or activity you have planned. 

Also handy for stopping it from being stolen at a festival!

A hat with meaning

All of our hats are made in Nairobi, Kenya (my home) by our partner factory. We have strong morals when working with our partner factories of paying above living wages, providing a nice place to work and providing lunchtime meals. 

All of our fabrics (known in Kenya as Kitenge) are sourced from the local markets providing an income to over 20 different fabric sellers that we work closely with.

Limited Edition

Due to the way the Kitenge fabric is brought into Kenya it makes it very difficult to find the same pattern more than once. As a result our products are ever changing and evolving, so once they're gone, they're gone!

Sizing

Std: Fits head size between 55-60 cm

XL: Fits head size between 61-64 cm
