The lotus flower is one of the most ancient and deepest symbols of the planet.
The lotus flower grows in miry waters. It rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. At night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again. Untouched by the impurity, lotus symbolizes the purity of heart and mind. The lotus flower represents long life, health, honor and good luck.

Yak down is a fiber that has been used in the East for centuries to provide warmth from the sub-zero temperatures of the Himalayas.
The scales of yak fiber are in a waved mosaic pattern, that result in a smooth fiber that is very soft and does not itch.
Being the finest quality yak down available, this yak down is softer than cashmere, and warmer than wool.

This hat was born out of inspiration & necessity. Inspired by the yarn, the hands that spun it, and the unique tibetan culture.
