ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
This handcrafted sun visor brings together the ancient art of Rwandan weaving with modern sun protection needs. Made from natural braided raffia, each piece is carefully woven by skilled artisans who have passed down their techniques through generations.
The natural raffia fiber is stripped from palm leaves, sun-dried, and braided into this durable yet flexible wide-brimmed design. The 4.75-inch brim provides generous coverage while the adjustable crown ensures comfortable wear during any outdoor adventure.
Each visor carries the unique character of handmade craft, with subtle variations that make every piece one of a kind. This is more than sun protection - it's wearable art that connects you to time-honored traditions while keeping you cool and stylish.
