Handwoven Bolga Hats

Woven from Kinkahe. Crafted with Heritage.

Rooted in the rich weaving traditions of Bolgatanga in northern Ghana, our Bolga Hats are handcrafted by skilled artisans using kinkahe, the local name for elephant grass. This resilient wild grass is sustainably harvested from the Sahel region of West Africa and has been used for generations to create beautifully woven hats and baskets.

Each hat is individually woven by hand using time-honoured techniques passed down through generations. The result is a lightweight, breathable and durable accessory that blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary style. Finished with a braided, adjustable chin strap, every hat is designed for both comfort and practicality.

No two hats are ever exactly alike. The subtle variations in colour, weave and pattern are a testament to the artistry of handmade craftsmanship, making every piece truly unique.

Whether you're exploring a new city, relaxing on the beach or enjoying a summer garden party, a FunkyNChunky Bolga Hat is designed to be worn with confidence and treasured for years to come.
