- Not a costume. Not a souvenir. A hat that says it quietly.
- Unstructured crown, curved brim, stone twill, dense 3D embroidery with a merrowed edge. Check the stitching — we want you to.
- Designed with a named desi artist, paid on every sale. Their name is on the interior taping.
- One run. No restock. When the run is gone, that's the story ending.
- Adjustable snap — one size fits most. If a hat has ever felt tight on you, it won't be this one.
- Drop 001 has not released yet. The list hears first, the list buys first.
Built to be passed down
Premium build
Real materials, real embroidery, built per hat. Made to outlast the trend it started.
Holds its shape
Sits right, never floppy. Structured or soft, it's still the same shape months in.
3D embroidery
Dense, raised threadwork with a merrowed edge. Run your thumb over it — that's the point.
Native-reader verified script
Any lettering from our languages gets proofed by native readers before a single stitch. No exceptions.
Named artist, real revshare
Every drop is designed with a desi artist — credited on the hat, paid on every sale.
Easy to clean
Spot-clean, air-dry, done. Made for daily wear, not the shelf.

Shipping & returns
Straight answers, no fine print.
Drop 001 has not shipped yet — what you can buy today is the $5 founding reservation. It is refundable anytime before the drop, no questions, refunded in full the same way you paid.
When the drop goes live: these are small-batch runs, not warehouse stock. Allow 7–10 business days for your hat to leave production, plus carrier time. You'll get tracking the moment it ships.
Drop hats are final sale once shipped — that's what a limited run means. If we got something wrong (wrong item, defect), email us and we'll make it right, fast. One thing we can't fix: packages marked delivered by the carrier and then lost or stolen. Ship to an address where someone can receive it.
Your hat
Caring for your hat
This hat is built to be passed down. Act accordingly.
Spot-clean only: cold water, mild soap, soft brush, straight at the mark. Never the washing machine. Never the dryer. Real embroidery does not survive a spin cycle, and we are not making you another one — that was the deal.
Air-dry on a shelf, sitting on its brim, away from direct sun. Don't crush it in a bag; the crown holds its shape if you let it.
The embroidery will outlive the trend, the season, and possibly you. Wear it every day. That's what it's for.
