Description
Sylvia Olsen designed the Orca Toque in honour of the giant whales who make their home in the Salish Sea on the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada. This resident pod of beautiful orcas is dwindling. Sylvia is committed to protecting their habitat. This one-size-fits-most hat pays tribute to the great mammals.
