When I was growing up, I genuinely hated hats. They fit terribly, would hurt my head and would feel like they were squeezing my skull. So when other girls would pop a cute hat on for "no wash days" or because they woke up late, or to keep the sun out of their eyes while on a walk or at a farmer's market, I genuinely thought it was a form of fashion pain. That they were all lying about choosing to wear hats, like when people tell you that wearing high heels is as comfortable as sneakers.

And then one day, while in the Subtle Asian Traits Facebook Group, I learned that snowboarding helmets came in three sizes. Youth, Adult & Asian.

Because our heads are shaped differently. So I did a deep dive. I bought 13 hats to find one that was comfortable, that looked good, that didn't squeeze my head, and I found it.

Inspired by Sea Foam contrasted with the deep teal blue of the Pacific Ocean at Ocean Beach, the Head in the Clouds San Francisco Hat brings the tide-blue hues and bright whites to your everyday.

Across the front, “SAN FRANCISCO”, which was hand lettered by Samantha of HEMLEVA, is embroidered in soft, bold, 3D puff letters for that extra pop of texture and personality. Each hat is carefully embroidered in Seattle by a talented woman-owned embroidery shop.

Whether you’re wandering around Golden Gate Park, waking up to fog-filled mornings, drinking a latte as you walk the quiet streets of San Francisco, or flying a kite at Ocean Beach, this hat is your wearable love letter to the city by the Bay.

PRODUCT DETAILS •

• "SEATTLE" text is in light blue with a very cool 3D effect that can be seen from very far away. The letters were hand drawn by Samantha to resemble Mylar balloons and clouds.
• Embroidered in Seattle, WA

• The long answer is that a few years ago I learned that Asian heads are shaped differently. So my entire life I have been under the impression that I had a large head - in reality, it is simply differently shaped which is why free novelty hats, and hats I would try on at the hat store in the mall (you know which one) never fit me.
  
  I learned about this in my SAT (Subtle Asian Traits) Facebook Group where they talked about snowboarding helmets. (I know, but I warned you that this was the long answer before you even started reading this!) So when I started researching hats I bought 13 different hats to see which one fit the best. Because the fact of the matter is that I wanted to sell a hat, it was going to fit my head. And if it fit my head, it would also fit almost everyone else's heads too.

Made with luxe wool, these kitty cat toys are filled with high-quality catnip and are Tater Tot* approved! I hope that you and your kitties love these sweet little fishies too!

These Kitty Fishies are made using scraps from my Wool Pin Pennants. Further reducing my waste, and making something fun and joyful in the process.

Happy Fishing!

THOUGHTFUL DESIGN •
These Fishies were designed to fit in their mouth for kitties to carry around, have varying thicknesses (thinner fins) so they can be grabbed easily, a longer body so they can be used as a mini kicker, filled to the brim with catnip, so when the body is bitten it'll release the aroma, and to help with their natural hunting instincts.

DETAILS •

• 1 Fishie • ~3.5” tall and 6" wide
  or 2 Anchovies • ~2.5" tall and 6" wide
  

• Ingredients • Wool, Catnip, Cotton Thread

• COLORS • They will be lucky dip! If you purchase more than one, I will do my best to make sure you don't have doubles. If there is a specific color that you would like though, please let me know when you checkout or reply to your Order Confirmation email to let me know!

Are you looking for a beautiful, minimalist way to hold and display your growing enamel pin collection? Then this lovely, handmade pennant is the banner for you.

These Original Pin Pennants are handmade in the HEMLEVA studio by Samantha and Andy with 100% merino wool, a solid Oak dowel, and suspended by an incredibly strong Cotton cord.

Depending on the size of your pins, this pennant can hold between 25-50 enamel pins.

Merino wool is a biodegradable and renewable material, that is naturally moisture and stain-resistant. The wool that I use is also LEED® certification as MR Credit 6.0 Rapidly Renewable Resource as the sheep's wool is harvested in a sustainable manner.

Please note • These are all hand cut by Andy and sewn by hand by Samantha, so inventory depends on a few variables including the supply of wool. If a style sells out, please sign up for the waitlist notification and you'll be notified the moment they're restocked! Thank you so much for understanding.
