Boulderinas

Boulderinas are a type of traditional Mexican hat, originating from the state of Oaxaca. They are characterized by their wide brim, which is typically made from a single piece of fabric, and their distinctive shape, which resembles a large, flat disk. The brim is often adorned with decorative elements such as embroidery, beads, or feathers, which vary depending on the region and the occasion. Boulderinas are traditionally worn by women, and they are often paired with traditional Mexican clothing such as huipils and rebozos. They are also commonly worn during festivals and celebrations, and they have become a popular accessory for tourists visiting Mexico. The name "boulderina" is derived from the Spanish word "boulder," which refers to the wide, flat brim of the hat. Boulderinas are an important part of Mexican cultural heritage, and they continue to be worn and celebrated today.
