Material Story

Xiangyunsha is a traditional Chinese silk textile known for its distinctive texture, deep brown-black tone, and subtle crackled surface. Its beauty comes from time, sunlight, plant dyeing, river mud, and repeated hand processes.

This hat carries that material history into a contemporary everyday form. It is protective, breathable, lightweight, and quietly sculptural.
