Return & Exchange

Since the launch of our brand in 2021 we've served over 5,000 customers and the Return Rate is 0.07% as of 2023 year-end. Shop confidently knowing you'll receive quality handcrafted goods that are certified handmade. All of the goods we offer are made in USA by local artisans, OR imported from artisan communities in Latin America using only the high quality materials.

Items are finished on San Clemente, CA. where our team adds finishing touches, hand shapes each hat, restores, renews, trims, and carries out all custom design elements such as chin straps, etc.

We offer the unique and handmade using nature-foraged materials that involve extensive craftsmanship time from our global artisans team. As such, we provide a Satisfaction Guarantee on all of the items we promote. Most items are eligible for a Return providing the item returned in the original condition it was purchased in.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: If you expect 'perfect machine made hats', our hats are NOT for you. In times where the invaluable human element of the handmade TRADE is becoming scarce, we encourage you to embrace the 'Purposefully Imperfect' qualities that make each entirely unique, and one-of-a-kind.

Goods Certified Handcrafted are genuine handmade products using natural materials, as such imperfections are inherent, including but not limited to: slight variation of hues in the natural palm leaf, weave patterns, threads ends that can be simply trimmed, etc.
