The Juju Hats are made in rural villages in Cameroon by incredibly talented craftsmen and women. They are made using feathers from chickens which are dyed two or three times to get the rich colours just right. The base of the Bamileke hat is made from thin grasses and wood. Tied together using plastic string. The hats are then fumigated and we bring them to London.

If you have bought a Juju Hat and wonder how to clean it follow these simple tips:

1) When you first receive the Juju hat open it up immediately to air it out.

 2) Use your vacuum cleaner on the lowest possible power to clean the feathers by vacuuming from the middle outwards. You should do this every two weeks.

 3) If the feathers get ruffled or go out of shape use water on your fingertips and pull the feathers gently into shape again one at a time.

4) Your Juju Hat is textile so may attract moths. Keep a moth repellent hidden in the middle of the feathers or place a sticky moth trap at the back or near the hat. Cedar    wood balls or cedar wood sap can also be used to keep moths at bay. Or find a brand name moth repellent to put on your hats.
