OVERVIEW
The Breeze hat has three thin unpainted stripes from crown to brim. Covered in alternating lines throughout and woven in Washein's wayuu distinctive style. Coordinate it with our black and beiche hanging tassel native of Morocco.
Each hat is individually crafted by hand in Colombia by artisans from the Wayuu indigenous community.
Due to its hand craftsmanship, hats can vary slightly in size and have some imperfections, which is part of its uniqueness.
Washein says"Ensuring the focus is not distracted from the woven artisan feel, soft colors are incorporated through its hanging tasseled band. Planning a sunbathing under a palm tree on your next getaway? be sure to keep the Breeze hat in mind for a full experience."Source: Urbankissed
Claudia Patricia Henríquez Iguarán founded Washein to introduce the world to the beautiful craft of the indigenous Wayuu community in Colombia. The Washein collection consists of hats and bags made of Mawisa palm straw, hand-woven with care by the Wayuu community. Since 2012, Claudia has been working in a hospital in Colombia, where she often visited the indigenous communities and was already enchanted by their ancient wisdom. She wanted to put this knowledge into practice. In addition, she discovered that after the first phase of treatment, many patients with tuberculosis were looking for a way to be productive to support their families. That's how Claudia started the "Weaving to Heal" project. Claudia founded Washein in 2017 and worked with a community at Serrania de la Macuira. She wanted to help this community with the sale of their handmade products and taught them through a cost analysis what a fair price for the work and the products would look like. Every Washein product is 100% handmade and hand-painted with care by the Wayuu communities with which Claudia has had a band since childhood. There is a lot of respect for the talent and techniques of the artisans and every product is appreciated. The pompons are woven by a group of Waayu women from another community who live in Riohacha.
