Merzouga

Merzouga is an open crown hat, handcrafted from upcycled felt, with a burnt orange look. The trimming is made from vintage orange fabric and the inside fitted with a black leather sweatband with hand stamped hot foil logo in gold. Javier lived in Morocco for several years. The name “Merzouga” is a reference to a small Moroccan town located in the Sahara Desert, near the border with Algeria, the gateways to Erg Chebii, a huge expanse of sand dunes.
