"Manaslu" - Hand-knitted Nepalese hat with ear flaps

Colorful tradition & genuine craftsmanship from the heart of Nepal

The "Manaslu" Nepalese hat is a classic chullo knit hat with ear flaps and braided bands – inspired by traditional Himalayan patterns. Each hat is handcrafted in Nepal in small family-run knitting workshops around Panauti, Banepa, and Shakhu. Every hat is unique, with its own individual character.
