Lua

Lua, Hawaiian for crater, is an attempt to create a summer hat that matches almost any face. The hat is made from bao, fibres of the baobab tree, hand dyed with rubia tinctorum and nogalina. The trimming is made from recycled Tencel. Because Maleza dye their materials themselves, every Lua is different, varying in colour from light yellow to reddish brown. The trimming is treated in order to achieve a waxed and wrinkled finish characteristic to Maleza's creations.
