FAQs

Bolga hats are handmade by artisans in and around Bolgatanga in Northern Ghana, using sustainably sourced elephant grass.
The grass is locally grown in the flood plains around the region, hand-dyed with non-toxic dyes, and woven into a lightweight yet durable hat.

They include narrow, wide, and giant brim styles, and suit a wide range of head sizes, for children, women and man.
Wide brim hats are finished with an upcycled leather neck strap for added practicality.

Each hat is woven entirely by hand, supporting long-standing weaving traditions and providing fair, ongoing work for local weaving families we have worked with for over two decades.

We offer a range of Bolga hat styles to suit different tastes and practical needs:
High Top Hats – a taller crown for a distinctive silhouette.
Narrow Brim Hats – classic shape with a subtle brim.
Wide Brim Hats – broader brim for extra shade and presence.
Fulani Hats – inspired by traditional Fulani designs.
Giant Brim Hats – extra-large brim for maximum coverage and style.


The hats are designed to suit a wide range of head sizes, from children up to large adults, including men and women.
You can choose your hat in two ways:
Colour of Your Choice, where you select preferred colour tones and we choose a hat to match; or
Individually listed hats, where each piece is photographed and described, and the exact hat shown is the one you receive.

Alongside Bolga hats, our range includes other handmade pieces that are popular in summer.
