Chican Hat

Some pieces are woven slowly, by hand, the way they have been for generations.

The Chican Hat by WOMA Hats is handcrafted in Colombia from 100% handwoven Iraca palm, a natural fibre known for its lightness, durability, and beautiful texture. Every hat is created using traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations of artisans.

From the moment the fibres are harvested to the final shaping of the hat, the process can take up to 4–6 weeks to complete. The palm is carefully prepared before an artisan begins the meticulous work of weaving the fibres strand by strand by hand, creating the intricate open-weave texture that gives the Chican its distinctive character.

The hat features a refined open-weave crown, allowing air to move through the fibres for a breathable, lightweight feel.  Perfect for warm climates and long days under the sun. A hand-braided band in natural and faded rose tones adds subtle detail while maintaining the hat’s organic aesthetic.

Effortless yet sophisticated, the Chican blends rustic charm with quiet elegance, making it an easy piece to wear from beach days to sunset dinners.

Like all handcrafted pieces, no two hats are exactly alike.  Each one carries the mark of the artisan who made it.

At Sandy Bottom, we celebrate timeless craftsmanship and your hat is no exception. Each one is made with care to last for seasons under the sun.

Keep your hat dry. It’s made for sunshine, not showers. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally in a well-ventilated space with the top of the crown facing down.

For light stains, gently wipe with a damp cloth in lukewarm water and mild soap. For deeper marks, consult your local hatter.

If your brim loses shape, place a cotton cloth over it and iron with low heat until smooth.

Store in its dust bag or box, upside down or on a hat hanger. Never in direct sunlight or at the back of a car. This dries out the straw, which in turn can misshapen and crack it.

Remember, your Sandy Bottom Hat is a true work of art.
Treat it with care, and it will keep you shining for a lifetime.
