The Sun Catcher
For the ones drawn to light — who chase the golden hour, collect seashells like stories, and carry summer in their soul.
The Sun Catcher is a custom straw cowgirl hat designed for sun seekers and saltwater hearts. Made from lightweight Raffia Toyo straw, it’s finished with a natural cotton cord tied in a front knot, and adorned with gold-dipped shells and shimmering charms — a nod to beach days, barefoot nights, and memories made by the sea. Optional hand-burned sun or sea turtle branding on the back adds a personal glow to every wear.
Straw Base: Lightweight Raffia Toyo for breathable comfort
Cotton Cord Band: Soft natural wrap with a knotted front detail
Golden Touches: Gold-dipped shells + delicate gold charms
Branding (Optional): Hand-burned sun or sea turtle on back for a custom branding
Named after my favorite surf shop in Avalon, NJ — the shore town that raised me.
Summers were all sunburns, shared beach houses, and daily bike cruises for morning coffee. I grew up chasing the sun here — and in later years, found lifelong friends under that same golden sky.
The Sun Catcher is a nod to those endless days and the place that shaped me. With seashells and gold charms woven in, she’s for the girl who collects light, memories, and ocean tides — and carries them wherever she goes.
