two hearts. one global style.
the founders of zawadi hat
Zawadi Hat was started by Tiffany from Kenya and Maximilian from Germany, a couple living in Koh Phangan, Thailand.
The idea to start a fashion brand began with Maximilian's love for hats and kimonos. Tiffany shared the vision, inspired by her love for African fabric and the joy of building something meaningful together. Zawadi Hat blends bold styles with purpose, celebrating culture through wearable art.
They also created the Gift Shop collection, a space that supports local artisans and small businesses by connecting their handmade work to a global audience.
