He is the new "crush" of designers and decoration enthusiasts. The Juju Hat is at the base, a traditional headdress of the Bamileke ethnic group in Cameroon. Called "Aka Bamiléké", this headdress is worn only by the notables of the Bamileke chiefdoms. The elegance and ethnic charm of this folkloric element fascinates and imposes itself as a new trend.
A second life for this traditional headdress with bohemian charm. The Juju Hat, for those who own one, is used to dress the rooms of an apartment. Its mass brings texture to your space and has a certain form of softness because it is made of feather.
For the record, this feather headdress originated in Cameroon. It is worn by the notables of the Bamileke chiefdom, as well as by dancers during traditional ceremonies. The headdress, which has a circumference of about 80 centimeters, accompanies an outfit and a mask covering the face. Wearing this "Aka Bamileke" is a sign of prosperity.
Indeed, Juju Hat is mainly made of rooster feathers, natural or dyed. This is woven on a raffia (plant) support that folds easily giving beautiful size to the headdress. The size can vary and the pose lasts quite a long time. It takes more than 2 hours to make one, forming a circle that goes from the outside to the inside.
It is therefore an element of decoration that embellishes your interior. No need to have a "jungle" decoration at home to own one, the Juju Hat is as chic as it is ethnic!
