VOA

VOA

VOA has a generous silhouette, with a tall, almost cylindrical crown and an exceptionally wide, horizontal brim. A short, natural fringe softens the edge and the precise construction of the crochet.

Its name means “fruit” in Malagasy. Each hat is made by hand in Madagascar from natural raffia. The shades of the fibre and the movement of the brim may vary slightly from piece to piece.

• Main material: natural raffia
• Technique: hand crochet
• Crown: tall and almost cylindrical
• Brim: very wide and flat
• Finish: natural fringe around the edge
• Made in Madagascar
• Produced in small batches

Dimensions and details

Inner head circumference: 58 cm. One size.

To wear or display

Worn, VOA makes a generous, sculptural statement. On a wall, its wide brim and natural fringe bring rhythm and texture to the room. Find this design in our Hats to wear and Decorative hats collections.

For a wall display, choose a fixing suited to both the wall and the shape of the hat, without compressing the raffia.

Care

Store the hat completely flat without compressing the brim. Remove dust with a soft brush. Gently reshape the crown and edge by hand if needed.

Chaque pièce Marevaka est façonnée à la main à Madagascar. Le crochet construit la forme point après point. La tension du fil, la densité du point et les nuances du raphia peuvent varier légèrement, donnant à chaque création son caractère.

Le raphia naturel est choisi pour sa souplesse, sa tenue et ses nuances. Crochetée à la main, la fibre révèle un relief vivant et peut évoluer légèrement avec le temps.
