METHOD

Multiple techniques are used to create these elaborate works of art. Graphics are applied using a combination of embroidery, screen-printing, and sublimation. The fabric is then cut, shaped, and sewn in layers to form the hat.  

INSPIRATION

This design is influenced by Egyptian symbolism, namingly the winged scarab deity known as Scarabaeus sacer, or the sacred scarab. The scarab beetle, which was thought by Ancient Egyptians to push the sun across the sky, is a symbol of forward momentum; the choice of continuing along your current path or discovering a path of enlightenment and a higher calling.

The sacred scarab was often carved into protective amulets along with geometric patterns. The Egyptians believed these powerful symbols were imbued with the creative power of the sun, blessing the wearer with the strength and vitality needed to transform their lives and find new beginnings. This ties into the rebirth of the sun each morning.
