Caps, Hats + Beanies

Kitenge bucket hats! Made by Susan Opok in Uganda, these hats are an all time hit. The fabric is East African and links with Jess' roots in Uganda. We love Susan - Jess has known her for over 11 years now and they love working together. 

The real festival talker.

Each size varies, so please do try them all.

Handmade by Susan Opok in Uganda. Jess first met her in 2011 and they have always chatted about setting up a business together. When Lemon & Jinja started they created Nyabo, a kitenge business making bespoke products. The pattern is called ‘Kitenge’ and is East African.  Each sale from the Nyabo range makes a huge impact to Susan and the work she does in Uganda.

Take care when washing. Oh, and be kind, that's always nice. Wash at 30 celsius max with similar colours. Do not tumble try, do not iron, do not dry clean.

The heart of the collection. Featuring Jesse’s embroidered Lemon & Jinja logo, this cap celebrates everything we stand for: community, creativity, and sustainability. Its pre-faded vintage finish makes it feel like it’s been part of your wardrobe forever, with timeless style you’ll reach for again and again.

Inspired by Anne-Marie Bonneau’s words, 'We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly,' this cap is Jesse’s nod to sustainable living without pressure, and to embracing our own beautiful flaws. The Perfectly Imperfect embroidery is a reminder that nobody’s perfect... in life, in eco choices, in identity and that’s what makes us human. A symbol for progress over perfection, for living authentically, and for standing proudly as you are.

Its pre-faded vintage finish makes it feel like it’s been part of your wardrobe forever, with timeless style you’ll reach for again and again.

Freshly baked charm you can wear. Jesse’s playful croissant embroidery is stitched onto a retro, soft-washed cap, making this the perfect companion for café mornings, market strolls, and buttery daydreams (and obviously a croissant from Lemon and Jinja)

Pair the cap with our croissant embroidered tee, too!

Make waves in sustainable style. This vintage-inspired embroidered cap features Jesse’s hand-drawn whale design, stitched with care onto a classic, lived-in finish. Perfect for ocean lovers, coastal wanderers, and anyone who likes their accessories with a splash of personality.

A daily dose of positivity with a nod to our Lemon & Jinja roots. Jesse’s embroidered 'Squeeze the Day' celebrates the zest of life and reflects the playful, citrus-inspired energy of our logo. The cap’s soft-washed, faded vintage colours give it that perfectly broken-in, retro feel: a cheerful reminder to slow down, live sustainably, and make the most of every moment.

Not just for runners - this vintage-style cap carries Jesse’s exclusive Run Club embroidery, giving a nod to movement, community, and adventure. Built for everyday wear with an eco-conscious twist, it’s as at home on the trail as it is in town.
