About KIN THE LABEL
Founded in California in 2013, KIN THE LABEL was created to fill a gap in the women’s accessories market: well-designed hats that were sophisticated, timeless, and celebrated the art of a handmade product. What began as a garage-based passion project quickly evolved into a brand rooted in purpose and design integrity. Each hat reflects our belief that craftsmanship and simplicity can coexist beautifully.
The harmony of classic and edgy, masculine and feminine, hard and soft, is an integral part of our brand DNA that has been endorsed by top retailers and magazines alike. KIN THE LABEL has grown with the support of our customers who value craftsmanship, quality, and a company commitment to sustainable practices. With every new collection, we continue to honor traditional techniques while embracing modern aesthetics that speak to today’s thoughtful consumer.
Design Philosophy: The Beauty of Simple.
In a world of clutter and ever-faster fast fashion, we try to do less. Just right. Timeless. Our signature style juxtaposes raw with refined, melds color with emotion, and seamlessly blends outside influences in both nature and locale. Our designs, epitomized by a mélange of materials and textures, merge classic influences with those of modern day.
Quality: A Celebration of Our Artisans.
At KIN THE LABEL, we tirelessly elevate artisanship and preserve century-old traditions, setting us apart from luxury brands in search of the lowest possible cost, anywhere in the world. Our hats are handmade using heritage techniques and premium materials, primarily sourced in America. We also collaborate with exceptional international artisans, crafting unique pieces like bucket hats from Madagascar and Panama hats from Ecuador.
Responsibility: Not by 2050, But Now.
Bringing fantastic hats to life is our passion. Doing it responsibly is a non-negotiable duty. We are carbon and plastic-neutral. Not by 2050, but now. We have also spent long days researching and vetting our supply chain partners to ensure we continuously build a company we can all be proud of.
