Wild Shade
Nature-inspired caps, grown from the wild.
Wild Shade is a small Australian label making limited run caps inspired by the wildflowers and native plants that shape this landscape. Each cap is embroidered with a single botanical — from the delicate Flannel Flower to the sun-soaked Wattle - designed to carry a piece of the bush wherever you go.
Drops are small and seasonal. When they're gone, they're gone.
Delicate yet strong - our Echinacea cap is inspired by the wildflower known for both its beauty and its resilience. Echinacea is a pollinator magnet. Bees, butterflies, and even birds love its nectar and seed heads, making it a garden favourite for supporting wildlife.
This design features an embroidered echinacea bloom, detailed to capture the natural shape of the flower. Made for morning light, garden wandering, coffee runs and everything in between.

So deeply Australian — our Eucalyptus Gumnuts cap honours the understated beauty of the gum tree. From the soft rattle of gumnuts underfoot to the scent of eucalyptus carried on warm air, this design is a love letter to the landscapes that feel like home.
Featuring an embroidered eucalyptus branch and gumnuts, this cap champions the eucalyptus, one of Australia’s most beloved natural icons.
An everyday cap designed for morning walks, long drives, market days and life lived outdoors.

A classic cap with a dainty embroidered flannel flower. The flannel flower is known for its soft, velvety surface, which helps shield it from strong sun and dry conditions. A totally underrated flower in my opinion!

Bold, rare, and unmistakably Australian — our Sturt Desert Pea cap is a tribute to one of the country’s most iconic wildflowers. Known for blooming fiercely in the red heart of the desert after rain, the Sturt desert pea symbolises resilience, beauty in harsh landscapes, and the magic of unexpected colour in the wild.

A gentle pop of colour. A reminder to bloom where you are.
Wear it in the sun. Wear it slowly. Wear it often.
In full bloom, a flowering gum stops you in your tracks. Vivid clusters of colour against silver-green leaves — a tree that gives everything it has when its season comes. The Flowering Gum cap features a small embroidered gum blossom, on a zesty butter yellow cap.
Eucalyptus trees are among the most important nectar sources for birds, bees and insects in Australia. Also, many gum trees flower after stress events like drought or fire, making blossoms a key part of ecological recovery. Pretty amazing huh!?

One of the first plants to flower after winter. A delicately embroidered wattle on a crimson red cap, designed for everyday wear.
A comfortable, easy fit. Dad cap style.
Wattle flowers are made up of many tiny individual flowers clustered together, giving them their soft, spherical form. The bright-yellow colour comes from dense pollen-rich stamens, not petals.
