What Makes Aguayo Special?
Aguayo is more than a colorful pattern. Known as awayu in Aymara, it belongs to a longstanding Andean textile tradition.
For generations, these woven textiles have been part of everyday life in the Andes, traditionally used to carry children, food, belongings and other essentials. Their distinctive bands of color, woven construction and regional variations are part of a living textile tradition that continues today.
This cap gives Aguayo a new form. The textile runs through the crown and brim, allowing the fabric itself to define the character of the cap rather than simply decorating it.
Not inspired by history. Made from it.
Size & Fit
Available in three sizes. Each cap features an elasticized inner band for a flexible, comfortable fit.
- Small: approximately 47 cm / 18.5 in
- Medium: approximately 52 cm / 20.5 in
- Large: approximately 58 cm / 22.8 in
Measurements are approximate and taken around the circumference of the cap. The elasticized inner band provides additional flexibility in fit.
How to Measure
Wrap a soft measuring tape around your head where the cap will naturally sit, across the forehead and just above the ears. Keep the tape comfortably snug without pulling it tight. Because the cap has an elasticized inner band, the listed cap measurements provide additional flexibility when worn.
A Textile With a Past. A Cap Made for Now.
The duckbill silhouette is contemporary. Aguayo is not. Bringing the two together creates a cap that carries the color, texture and historical richness of an Andean textile tradition into a modern everyday form.
Made by Humans. Shaped by History.
Top FAQs Answered 🌟 frequently asked questions
Will I receive the exact item shown?
If a product is listed as one-of-one, vintage, a unique specimen, or the exact piece photographed, that is the piece you will receive. Repeatable apparel and multi-unit products may use representative photography and will match the purchased style, size, color, and listed specifications.
Are all your items handmade?
No. Many pieces are handmade, hand-knit, handwoven, carved, assembled, or produced in small quantities. Others are commercially produced. We state the material, construction, maker, origin, and technique on the individual product page when those facts are known.
Do you restock sold-out items?
Sometimes. Core apparel and repeatable merchandise may return when available. One-of-one, vintage, limited, and unusually sourced pieces often do not. If inventory says one, there may really be only one.
