Banned Books and Brass Bands Hat

Designed exclusively for the New Orleans Book Festival by Cleo Wade and Nicole Richie, this limited-edition cap celebrates two of our city’s favorite things: the power of free expression and the joy of a second line.

This deep burgundy cotton hat features bold white embroidery with the rallying phrase “Banned Books & Brass Bands”—a nod to the creative spirit that fuels both literature and New Orleans culture. Whether you're marching to your own beat or standing up for the freedom to read, this cap says it loud and proud.
