LEAF HAT! - Non La
While girls from other countries love to wear hats with made of multi-color expensive materials, with attached
feathers and bows, Vietnamese girls are attracted to the Vietnamese leaf-covered hat (non la) which
can not be found from anywhere else in the world. The hat is creatively made from leaves, the simple materials of nature.
These young leaves are brought from the softest trees and are exposed to the dew for one night so when dried, it is still
soft enough to be flattened. The hat usually consists of 16 to 18 rims made from a special kind of bamboo. These rims are
shaped thinly into conical-form. The leaves are sewn into all rims solely by hand. Finally, the hat is trimmed and painted
with a coat of attar old to keep it clean, smooth, and water-proof. Vietnamese girls wear this leaf hat like a little umbrella
to protect themselves from sun or rain. The hat elegantly enhances the sentimental attractiveness of Vietnamese girls because
they are mysteriously hidden, showing only their shy blush cheeks and long hair beneath the broad rims of the non la. The
leaf hat is not only a symbol of Vietnamese girls, but has also become part of the spirit of Vietnam,
the nation.
