BUCA HAT

……………………….



Beloved by Transylvanian shepherds and urban fashionistas, the bucket hat has enjoyed unexpected bouts of popularity over the past century.

This richly textured Varv 
rendition evokes the traditional and contemporary versions in equal measure, whilst 
being extremely cozy and surprisingly easy to wear. 



Buca is pronounced ‘bookah’ and references the word for beech tree, for which the
 region of Bucovina was named.
