Straw Hat

Our Vesta Versa straw  known locally as Kinkahe, is collected from the tops of the grass stalk, then each piece is split in half vertically. Each half of the split straw is then twisted tightly by rolling it back and forth together to give it strength. The straw is put in bunches and dyed in boiling water. For bright colors the straw is yellow first, then the pattern colors. It made with baskets, trays and hats. Our beautiful hats are made with colorful designs, perfect to protect sun burns, easy travel and fit in your luggage.
