Hand-Painted Oaxacan Wide-Brim Felt Hat: Día de los Muertos Florals

A black wide-brim felt hat, found in Oaxaca during Día de los Muertos and hand-painted by the artisan who made it, with roses and gilt scrollwork curling around the crown. Equal parts mourning veil and matador. One of one, and unrepeatable.

Brand & era story: A handmade folk-art piece from Oaxaca, Mexico, where Día de los Muertos has spun a centuries-old craft tradition of painted flowers, marigolds and memento-mori motifs. Pieces like this are made by hand for the festival rather than mass-produced, which is precisely why each carries its own slightly imperfect, irreplaceable hand.
