Providing shade one hat at a time. Styles for men, women, and children.
My husband and I were living in Mexico City in 1989 and each Saturday we shopped at the local fruit and vegetable market near our apartment. On one of those visits I purchased a wide brimmed palm hat that I thought would be great for gardening in the hot Texas sun.
My family has a history of skin cancer so I knew other gardeners would also love this sun protection. After consulting with the commercial hat factories in Mexico we were eventually introduced to the village in Mexico that continues to produce the Tula Hat line. They have been producing palm hats for over four centuries. We have been honored to work with such a wonderful group of people and have developed a special friendship and trust with the hat makers.
Hats are needed for every day sun protection so I strive to design hats that make the wearer feel good and look their best. My customers can be wearing jeans to cute summer dresses and have the health benefits of wearing a UPF 50+ sun protective hat that is also fashionable.
The Tula hat line is available in many wonderful garden centers, boutiques and shops across the US and Canada. Please visit our store locator for a store in your area.
Please visit my Tula Hat Blog for more information on the history of Tula Hats and other hat topics. My mission is to continue to provide hats that are affordable, easy to wear, protect the skin and that look good on!
Thanks for visiting Tula Hats!
