Design Trend: Juju Hats

 If you are looking to add a pop of color or a unique element to your space, the Juju hat is all the rage this summer. With vibrant colors and amazing texture, it is no wonder these handmade hats from Cameroon are a favorite among designers and decorators alike!

  

Juju hats are found throughout the West African nation of Cameroon and are worn by the prominent members, dancers, and dignitaries in the Bamileke tribe. The amazingly detailed design of the feathers is sewn onto a tight raffia base and covered with wood and cloth material.

 We love to pair ours in a cluster - for a more asymetrical, graphic look, at the end of a long hallway, or above a mantlepiece. No matter where they go, Juju hats are sure to make a statement. 

 

Stop by the store to see their vibrant colors and amazing appeal.

We would love to see you!

Top Ten Gifts of 2012: Number 2

At Wildflower, we really can't say enough great things about wool. You can read all about why we love it here. It's why we've chosen the All Natural Three Inch Wool Topper ($299 - $599) to be our Number 2 gift. Add this topper to just about any mattress and you won't believe what a difference it makes. Not only does wool offer natural plushness that you'll sink into, it regulates temperature, repels dust mites, wicks away moisture and breathes better than synthetic materials. We get how important sleep is - we've based our store around it! That's why we recommend this topper so highly. Stop by the store to try it out!
