BADBOWL Indigo Sashiko Bucket Hat

This traditional fisherman-style bucket hat features authentic plant-dyed indigo and textured sashiko fabric construction. Handcrafted using time-honored techniques, each hat develops unique character that evolves beautifully with wear.

Artisanal Construction

• Handcrafted from traditional sashiko textured cotton fabric
• Genuine plant-based indigo dyeing process
• Classic 6-panel bucket hat design
• Natural indigo blue that ages with character
• One size (57-58cm head circumference)

Living Color

Each hat undergoes multiple immersions in naturally fermented indigo vats, creating a depth of color unachievable with synthetic dyes. The traditional dyeing process results in a living color that develops unique fade patterns with wear - an authentic characteristic prized by indigo enthusiasts.

Heritage Craft

Sashiko stitching originated as a practical reinforcement technique that evolved into a distinctive aesthetic element. Combined with natural indigo dyeing, this hat represents centuries of Japanese textile tradition reimagined for contemporary style.

Care Instructions

• Hand wash separately in cold water
• Add a tablespoon of salt to wash water to help set color
• Avoid harsh detergents and bleach
• Dry flat away from direct sunlight
• Some color transfer is expected and characteristic of authentic indigo

Note: The natural properties of plant-dyed indigo mean that color evolution is part of the character and charm of these artisanal pieces.
