A passion for world travel and an enduring love for hats led to the creation of the Original Cotton Crochet Hat that launched San Diego Hat Company during a trip to Bali, Indonesia in 1993. Initially based out of a San Diego garage, the founders’ dreams of bringing together design, material, and craftsmanship has led to our new 50,000-square-foot facility located in Carlsbad, CA, with worldwide distribution at major department stores and more than 3,000 specialty boutiques. Over the years our company’s original focus has not changed: to provide our customers with their FAVORITE headwear and accessories each season.
