Inspired by connection.
Our Story
Welcome to Inara Hat Co., where each hat is more than an accessory—it's a beacon of your soul’s radiance and a testament to your unique journey.
The story of Inara Hat Co. unfolded across two transformative landscapes.In Costa Rica, living within a vibrant eco-village, I experienced the healing power of community—learning to live in rhythm with the earth, celebrate togetherness, and honor sustainable ways of being. Later, along the quiet shores of the South of France, I was called inward—into a time of deep solitude, reflection, and the rediscovery of my inner light. It was within the dance of these two worlds—community and solitude—that the vision for Inara Hat Co. was born.
Rooted in my connection to nature and inspired by the growing understanding of my Métis ancestry, Inara reflects a reverence for land, spirit, and tradition. Each piece we create carries this spirit forward—crafted with intention, respect, and a deep honoring of the journeys that shape us.
"Inara," meaning brightness and radiance, lies at the heart of everything we do. Our designs are not simply made to adorn—they are created to celebrate your path, amplify your inner light, and inspire soulful connection, both inward and outward.
Every hat holds a story—from the hands that shape it to the lives it touches and the dreams it carries. At Inara Hat Co., we are not simply making hats; we are setting intentions, honoring journeys, and helping to build a more radiant, compassionate world through ethical craftsmanship and environmental stewardship.
Wear your light. Honor your journey.

Handpicked crystals
Crystals on each hat infuse fresh energy, enhancing internal and external connectivity. This connection to self and spirit channels energy and intention, promoting mindfulness and balance. We ethically source our crystals through eco-friendly mining and fair labor practices, ensuring sustainability and fair treatment of workers.
Ethically sOURCED feATHERS
We source our feathers with reverence for the life cycle—collected either through natural molting or from free-range farms that honor the animal in its entirety, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
Sacred Woods
Infused with the sacred smoke of palo Santo, each hat cradles the essence of cleansing and spiritual purification. This ethereal incense dances to dispel shadows of negativity, inviting serenity and tranquility to grace the realm.
