Return & Exchange

Since the launch of our brand in 2021 we've served over 10,000 customers and the Return Rate is 0.07% to-date. Shop confidently knowing you'll receive quality handcrafted goods that are small batch goods sourced and/or finished locally in the USA. All of the goods we offer are finished by our independent local brands, 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.

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.

HAUS HAT SIZING ISSUES

Before returning a hat due to sizing issues, please make sure to adjust the hat for correct fit. If your hat fits front-to-back but not side-to-side (or vise versa), size reducers might be your best solution. For a quick solution, we recommended Hat Sizing Tape options that you can find for under $10 on Amazon or many other retailers that may be local to you. If you have any other questions or need more information on best fit practices, feel free to call or text our team at (949) 359-6614.
