Artesano Basque Spring Tie Dye Boater Straw Hat

A classic reimagined with a bohemian soul. The Artesano Basque is a timeless boater-style hat handcrafted in Ecuador from 100% toquilla straw — the same UNESCO-recognized palm fibre behind the world-famous Panama hat — and finished with hand-dyed tie-dye bands that make every piece one of a kind. The wide 4" brim offers generous sun protection, while the size-adjustable inner band ensures a perfect fit. In Tomato Red, the Basque is a bold, joyful statement that brings instant warmth and personality to any warm-weather look.

Please note: as the bands are hand-dyed, tie-dye color patterns and prints will vary between pieces — each hat is uniquely yours.

About Artesano & Toquilla Straw

Artesano is an Ecuadorian brand dedicated to preserving the country’s extraordinary weaving heritage. Toquilla straw weaving — inscribed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list — is one of Ecuador’s most celebrated artisan traditions. Each hat is made entirely by hand, and natural variations in color and texture are part of the beauty and authenticity of every piece.

Styling Notes

The Basque’s classic boater silhouette and wide brim make it a versatile warm-weather essential — equally at home at a beach wedding, a garden party, a boat day, or a summer festival. Tomato Red brings a vibrant pop of color that pairs beautifully with white, navy, cream, and earthy neutrals. Wear with a linen co-ord and espadrilles for a polished resort look, or with a floral midi dress for a romantic outdoor occasion. The tie-dye bands add a playful, artisan touch that elevates any outfit.

Care & Reshaping

• Wearing: Use the brim when putting on or removing the hat — avoid crushing the crown
• Cleaning: Remove stains with a damp cloth and mild soap, dabbing gently. Follow with a clean damp cloth and air dry
• Reshaping: If the straw has distorted from humidity, lay a damp cloth over the affected area and pass a warm iron over it to reshape. This method also works to adjust the brim direction (up or down)
• Storing: Store in a cool, dry place on a shelf away from direct sunlight. Avoid contact with water, excess moisture, and heat — straw may become brittle and crack. Do not leave in a hot car
