The colors of Wild Mustard were inspired by the stormy skies and glowing mustard fields from my memories of springtime in Northern California, while the shape was designed around the need for a lightweight hat that I could wear while loosening the soil and preparing for planting in our garden. The cloche-like brim keeps your eyes safe from stray snowflakes and slanted rays while the fanciful flower holds even the chilliest late-winter blues at bay.

The cloche can be finished with or without the flower, depending on your preference!
