Alpaquero Hat

Beyond simply “inspired by,” the Heritage Collection was co-created directly with the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco—incorporating the artisans’ stories and traditions into each style—with 5% of sales going back to the CTTC to support Quechua weavers and their families. Style and sun protection combine in this functional statement piece, molded and shaped by an expert hat maker in Bolivia using traceable alpaca fibers sourced from Peru. This Western-style alpaca hat is based on those worn by Alpaqueros—alpaca farmers who have tended to herds in the Andean mountains for over 6,000 years. We’re proud to honor the important work of both Alpaqueros and Quechua weavers through this special-edition style.
