Mali Sun Hat — Mudcloth & Indigo
The Mali Sun Hat is handcrafted from a mix of West African textiles — combining mudcloth from Mali and vintage indigo fabric from Burkina Faso.
Constructed using carefully selected off-cuts, each hat reflects VAST’s zero waste philosophy — ensuring every piece of textile is used with purpose. The patchwork composition creates a unique interplay of tone, pattern, and texture. No two hats are alike.
Designed with a wide, structured brim, the hat offers protection from the sun while maintaining a grounded, effortless expression.
More than functional, it adds a distinctive layer to any outfit — bringing texture, depth, and character to the overall look.
The natural fabrics soften over time, adapting to the wearer while retaining their character.
A piece shaped by heritage, material, and conscious craftsmanship.

At VAST, every piece is crafted with intention, care, and love. As part of our commitment to slow fashion, we create made-to-order designs, ensuring minimal waste and maximum quality. Please allow up to 5 - 7 days for international delivery, as each piece is handmade by skilled artisans, honouring traditional techniques and conscious production. Thank you for choosing timeless craftsmanship over fast fashion.
Each piece is made by hand, beginning with locally sourced cotton that's spun, woven, and stitched together by artisans. The cloth is then dyed using fermented mud and plant-based dyes in a process that can take weeks or even months to complete. As the fabric is handwoven, hand dyed and delicate we recommend a relaxed fit and dry clean only for washing.
