Hello, I read the post about Wayuu bags that @indigenous-character-tournament posted and the importance of buying authentic bags from them rather than from Disney, a mass-producing company. Are the Wayuu the ones who make hats, by any chance? I see a particular type of indigenous-made hat in Encanto.
Hi there! Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. There's a type of hat that WayĂșu people use specifically called an uwomĂŒ. It's made from woven straw, and sometimes we add puff ball decorations.
From what I remember in Encanto, the hat looks more like this:
Which is a Colombian vueltiao hat! They were originally made by ZenĂș or SinĂș peoples. The hat is a national symbol for Colombia! They're both similar styles but totally different. Both are made from straw.
