THE STORY OF THE BOOFDA™

Like all great stories, this one started far from ordinary - on a boat somewhere in the middle of the ocean off the coast of Madagascar.

Two legends, Alvaro and Benni, were wearing something we'd never seen before. Something timeless. A handmade creation their moms had made for them years back.

On that boat, Luke saw what he then dubbed, the BOOFDA™ and knew instantly, “Everyone needs one!”

After countless months of hand-stitching prototypes, sourcing toggles, meeting suppliers and giving samples to friends for testing. What emerged wasn't just a product, it was a mindset and lifestyle.

The BOOFDA™ is for those who live Wild At Heart. For the ones who chase the surf at sunrise, hike until dark and take the road less travelled, get their hands dirty and find stillness in the beauty of nature.

Rooted in Africa, made for everyone.

A SHORT HISTORY OF OUR DESIGN JOURNEY

In the workshop! After testing our product, feedback was that the BOOFDA™ needed an adjustable toggle.

We went through many rounds of material and neoprene testing. It started with a whole lot of lessons learned.

Each BOOFDA™ is expertly handcrafted in Cape Town, South Africa, by an all-woman team, who have played a key role in bringing the BOOFDA™ to life.

FAQ

Is there only one size BOOFDA™?

+

There's a toggle at the back of the BOOFDA™ which allows you to adjust it to your perfect size. Slightly tighter when the wind is strong ;)

You can also cut the bandana using a pair of scissors (at your own risk) to the length at which you'd like the material to be.

Make it your own!

How do I say BOOFDA™?

It's pronounced just as it looks, BOOF-DA.

Say BOOF like a dog would say 'WOOF'...and then follow straight into a 'DA' like you would say 'Duh'

I've never seen anything like the BOOFDA™ before!?

+

We know, neither did we until that day on the boat in Madagascar!

Now, it's finally here and it's set to make waves in the world of adventure headwear.
