Description
The Reversible Bucket Hat from Japanese brand Quitan is crafted from 100% linen with a cotton lining, offering a light, breathable, and comfortable wear.
Its reversible construction allows for versatile styling, adapting easily to different looks.
Inspired by U.S. Navy sailor hats, the silhouette features a subtly varied brim length from front to back, creating a soft, enveloping shape reminiscent of a traditional bonnet.
The printed motif is drawn from blue-and-white porcelain patterns believed to have been produced in the 18th century for trade commissioned by the French East India Company during the Qing dynasty.
Reinterpreted through indigo dyeing, the fabric is finished using a traditional ai-sumi process—a low-temperature, two-bath method combining indigo and binchotan charcoal—resulting in a nuanced depth of blue.
Over time, the material develops a natural patina, reflecting individual wear and use.

Quitan
Founded by designer Victoria Sae Miyata in Japan, Quitan is a clothing brand inspired by cultures and clothing from around the world. The brand is committed to paying homage to cultures and fashion from various parts of the globe through its neutral style designs. Quitan products aim to minimize their impact on the environment and the planet while integrating inspiration from traditional cultures with modern styles, creating comfortable, natural, and wearable pieces.
The brand name “quitan” comes from the Japanese word “kitan(綺譚（きたん)”, which means “a story written in beautiful prose.” As the concept of “exchange of cultures” expresses, many of the clothes are inspired by ethnic clothing and cultures from around the world, and the clothes are created with the image of connecting the dots of each individuality.
There were overflowing numbers of “differences” in our world.
Those differences would have been rooted in their respective fields, not been disharmony.
Before the diversity was uniformed by modernization, what was the world like?
“Quitan” is a bricolage of such fellowships for beautiful cultures.
