Our Story

Drifter Hats was created by two English hat-lovers living on the small Spanish island of Mallorca. Living a transient lifestyle, we´re fuelled by a desire to create headwear for those driven by wanderlust, a love of nature and a sense of timeless style.

We´re inspired by far flung travel and cultural differences, vibrant art, food and music. Our customers wear our designs on weekend getaways to Morocco, on nights out in Ibiza, floating on the ocean in Mallorca and whilst road tripping across Europe. We get a kick out of seeing your adventures so if you´ve taken your Drifter Hat out into the wild or to the heart of the city, then we´d love to hear more about it.

Currently based in England, you´ll also find Drifter around Europe with workshops, pop-ups and appearances at festivals and artisan markets. See what we´ve been up to on Our Journal.

About Rebecca, our creative director...

´My childhood was spent on the move, we didn´t live anywhere longer than a few years and we travelled extensively throughout the seasons...island hopping around the Med and living in a tiny Greek village for a time. 

It came as little surprise but made complete sense when I discovered later in life that my ancestors were travellers, drifting from place to place in wooden caravans - I suddenly understood my transient soul and where it came from.

When I was little he used to sing ´Wherever I Lay My Hat (That´s My Home)´ by Marvin Gaye and it often floats through my mind when I´m travelling. Drifter Hats are created with that sentiment...your hat is your identity wherever you are in the world and ours are designed to travel with you through the seasons and continents.

Drifter lays its hat in many places as we continue to explore the world and we hope to meet some of you out there on the road!"
