Sometimes the most striking hats come from the smallest remnants. This Big Boonie in rich purple with a vibrant patchwork brim came to life through a mix of creativity, resourcefulness, and a love for color. Designed in our largest size, it combines comfort, sun protection, and one-of-a-kind style.
The Story Behind the Hat:
I was drawn to the multi-color swirled and swished look of the brim fabric. It reminded me of dipping a paintbrush into side-by-side drops of color and swirling them together on a canvas. Bright, lively, and full of variety—it felt like pure creativity in fabric form.
There was just one catch: I only had an odd amount left in the stash. To make it work, I pieced together the top of the brim in a patchwork style. For the crown and hat band, I used the very last bits of a purple batik with leafy details, and for the rest of the hat, I reached for a purple blotchy print that complemented the whole design. It was truly a “use every last piece” project, and the result is a uniquely appealing boonie hat that can’t be replicated exactly the same way twice.
Why Purple?
I get calls for purple headwear often, so it felt like the perfect choice to tie the patchwork brim together. The combination of rich purple shades and vibrant multicolor swirls makes this Big Boonie stand out in the best way.
