What shoppers call a “Bad Bunny” hat is a pava straw hat
The pava straw hat—often nicknamed a “Bad Bunny” hat by fans—features a sculpted crown, a turned-up brim, and dramatic straw hat with frayed edges. It reads fashion-forward and cultural, not uniform. To keep your listings safe, describe it with generic terms like authentic straw hat or “pava style” rather than any artist branding.
Pava vs. Lifeguard: two different products, two different jobs
- Pava (Image 1): Heritage/fashion piece for displays, festivals, and photo moments. Smaller brim, sculpted silhouette, side patch branding; optional frayed edges deliver a relaxed beach vibe.
- Lifeguard (Image 2): Utility summer straw hat with maximum shade. 11.5 cm brim, structured crown, chin strap, and under-brim graphics. Great as lifeguard hat mens uniforms, outdoor teams, and promo programs.

When to choose lifeguard instead
If the brief says “shade first, uniform ready, quick onboarding,” pick the lifeguard profile. It is the go-to straw gardening hat for landscape crews and a proven summer straw hat for resort staff. The large brim and chin strap improve wear time, and under-brim prints move units at retail.
