Welcome to Lao Hats!

wool hat with sheepskin cuff and jade beadsInspired by design elements from historical cultures, textiles and manuscripts, Lao Hats are historically based, yet timeless ...

Handcrafted in Seattle from vintage coats and other reclaimed textiles, each Lao Hat is a distinctive piece of warm and wearable art! American-born artist, Heather Daveno, is a proud member of the Northwest Crafts Alliance.

Lao is the Chinese word for "old". It is a play on words and a reference to "these old hats" as a mostly recycled/reclaimed handcraft.
