This is the ultimate festival/Yorkshire fusion, an abstract colourful flat cap made in Yorkshire by Kempadoo Millar with a print designed by Yorkshire artist Jasmine Estelle. This range of flat caps are all one of a kind, cut from a unique piece of fabric designed by Estelle, in an attempt to modernise a Yorkshire classic. The material is light linen, making it ideal for warmer weather.

£245The Card Holder
We love a chunky leather wallet, but in the summer they aren’t always practical, especially when expected to fit in your shorts pockets. This is where Reyt Wallet come in, making these compact leather card holders perfect for slipping into a front pocket. They’re recycled and handcrafted from full grain leather, with a ram’s head embroidered on the front inspired by the Yorkshire landscape.
