Product & Sizing

How do I choose my size?

Most of our bucket hats are one size fits most thanks to a soft inner band. If a product has specific sizing, we’ll note it on the product page.

How do I care for my hat?
  • Hand wash in cold water with mild soap.
  • Reshape gently and air dry.
  • Avoid tumble dryers and high heat (it can affect the shape and fabric).

Packaging & Sustainability

How do we keep our packaging minimal?

We keep our packaging minimal and lightweight to reduce transport emissions. Every choice is intentional — we prioritise functionality and sustainability over unnecessary extras to minimise our environmental impact.

How do you reduce your environmental impact?

Lighter parcels mean fewer trucks and less CO₂. We're always working to reduce our environmental footprint.

My parcel is delayed—what should I do?
