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.
