NWOT LUSANA BANDED BAHA VISOR in BLACK-OFF WHITE

The Single Stripe Baha Visor is one of Lusana's best sellers suitable for all of your outdoor endeavours. Wide and full brim, one size fits all and is entirely handmade from community weavers in Bali. This hat is elasticated at back for comfortable fit. Brim Length: 5 in. Circumference: 22 in. Height: 2 in. The Baha Visor is LUSANA's go-to for finding shade. The craftsmanship that goes into each visor is significant and worth understanding. It is made from the Lontar Palm, a tree native to Indonesia. The Lontar Palm has a remarkable history as the dried palm leaves were once used as a writing material across Southeast Asia including Indonesia. The "Lontar" for the Balinese refer to their palm leaf manuscripts that cover various aspects of life documenting key knowledge such as cultural and religious belief systems, history, homeopathy and astrology. More than 50 rural community village members are involved in the production of LUSANA's Baha Visors. Many of these are stay-at-home mothers with very limited alternative employment opportunities. LUSANA partners with a family-owned community business venture to roll out the manufacturing process. This includes the drying of palm leaves which are harvested in Bali and neighbouring islands.
