ACHIEVING BOHEMIAN + RETRO COACHELLA VIBES

Now for the most important part of your look - your hat! We suggest a wide brim straw or felt fedora when going for a Bohemian + retro festival vibe.

Pair with crop tops + cutoffs or fringe + tassels – this hat is festival ready + begging to be trimmed in a flower crown, fabric hat bands or leather twine.

The Raine in Honeycomb embodies the wild earth tones of a bohemian color palette. The Dark Oak + Dark Cherry tones pair heavenly with retro velvets + the edgy side of festival looks.
