In the heart of Mexico, artisans weave stories into every stitch, creating more than just hats but cherished symbols of tradition and craftsmanship. At The Salvage Co., we're proud to showcase two exceptional collections of handmade hats, each a testament to Mexico's rich cultural heritage.

  1. Palm Leaf Masterpieces: Crafted from locally sourced palm leaves, these hats are not just accessories but canvases of creativity. Each piece is meticulously hand-painted with vibrant hues, ensuring no two are alike. From bold geometrical patterns to intricate floral designs, these hats are a fusion of art and function, offering shade under the scorching sun with a touch of Mexican flair.

  2. Suede Elegance: Our suede hats are a testament to luxury and sophistication. Hand-woven with intricate designs in vibrant colors, these hats elevate any ensemble. Whether strolling through the desert or dancing under the stars, these hats are the epitome of style and comfort, embodying the spirit of Mexico's rich cultural tapestry.

While exploring our exquisite hat collection, discover the treasure trove of handmade furniture, home decor, and artwork imported directly from Mexico. Each piece tells a story, adding warmth and character to any space. Visit us at the Santa Fe Square Shopping Mall in Mesa, Arizona, and immerse yourself in the beauty of Mexican craftsmanship at The Salvage Co.

Rich Helmer

Originally from the Chicago suburb of Elgin, Illinois, Rich Helmer's family headed west to Arizona just before his final years of high school. Rich became instantly fascinated with the desert southwest. Its renowned grandeur and mysterious energy would profoundly influence his later work, as would the endless beaches of Mexico and Southern California. Rich's sonic creativity emerged at an early age, as did his unorthodox approach to artistic ventures.

As a primarily self-taught guitarist and songwriter, Rich has never been one to live by a handbook. However, after devoting most of his life to music, he abandoned his true passion and decided to seek a more "realistic" vocation. The decade-long diversion is something that Rich still occasionally laments, but he also knows that the past is just that - the past. Fortunately, Rich decided to dust off his vintage Telecaster and pursue his love of photography, leaving him with little time for regrets.

Rich dares us to consider what possibilities may lie along the path less traveled with both humility and purpose. Whether provocative, soul-stirring, inspiring, disconcerting, or some combination of these, the overarching theme in Rich's work is that, for him, the lens is much more than a curved piece of glass; it is a vehicle through which viewers can experience worlds that might have otherwise remained hidden.

Join his journey.
