The palm is grown in warm coastal areas. This sustainable fiber is harvested twice a year. The new shoots are cut and then placed in the dew where the fronds are flipped over and over for eight days. Then they are placed in a palapa fire made of adobe where the palm is cooked for a day in sulfur that whitens the palm. From there the palm is bundled and sent to market where the weavers purchase it.

The entire village is involved (at some point of their lives) in the weaving, sewing and blocking of the hats. Primarily, the women do the weaving. They can be seen walking down the streets or sitting in their courtyards weaving palm into long strands. The men sew the strands of palm (braids) into the basic hat body. Then the hats are blocked and ready to be adorned. Tula Hats are a favorite of gardeners across the USA and Canada. Many of our retailers have been with us from the start. Each year Alice, with the suggestions of sales associates, customers and friends, creates and designs new styles to keep up with the ever-increasing popularity of hats, while keeping alive the traditional hat making techniques from so long ago. https://linktr.ee/tulahats
