If the typical post break-up cathartic clean out of things can have a silver lining, Bondi Beach local, Dave Robledo found it in the accidental birth of his hat brand - BxmBxm (pronounced BamBam).

A birthday gift; although beautiful as it was, he took this plain old hat and burnt it! Rode over it. Cut holes. Blew it up with fire—then sewed it back together with thread from a jammed drawer.

Walking along the promenade of his hometown Bondi Beach wearing this repurposed hat, a stranger noticed it and asked to try it on.
After hearing about its story, they quickly asked,
"Would you create one for me?"

BxmBxm was created - Handcrafted, custom-made hats that tell your unique story.

BxmBxm's distinct unisex pieces have gained recognition for their meticulous hand-stitched embroidery, as well as the use of rare scrap pieces of recycled leather and thread, as well as the careful distressing of each hat with just the right amount of fire.

Each hat is individually created, using ethically sourced rabbit fur felt, as well as recycled materials.

Built entirely by hand with handmade tools, BamBam draws inspiration from the personality and style of the wearer, crafting a personalised and distinctive piece that is suitable for everyday wear and is intended to catch attention.
