Proud of Vietnam

We’re extremely proud to produce in Vietnam, we’re absolutely against hiding it, on the contrary we push it forward and gladly let whoever wants to hear it that 100% of our products are made right here in Vietnam.

Working with Gold Hats Headwear means getting a firm guarantee to obtain the best quality in the industry today, behind the final product stand men and woven like you and me, highly skilled workers without whom none of this would be possible. Without these experts hands we wouldn’t be able to offer the quality we work so hard to offer. They’re called Tan, Dao, Hoang Mai, Nga… Men and women whose hard work is inevitably denigrated when the country of origin doesn’t appear on the product.

The final client should have the right to know and appreciate the hard work of these people and recognize the fact that Vietnam is also without a doubt a nation of craft and work well done.

Thus, next time that someone asks where you custom hats were made, you should be proud to answer that highly competent Vietnamese workers living in Ho Chi Minh City sewn them with their skilled hands in irreproachable working conditions paid well above the minimum wage in the industry, allowing them to live with dignity in the beautiful country that Vietnam is.
