Nón lá

Nón lá (chữ Nôm: 𥶄蘿; lit. 'Leaf hat') or nón tơi (𥶄𥵖) is a type of Vietnamese headwear used to shield the face from the sun and rain. It is a common name for many types of hats in Vietnam, but now it is mainly used to refer to cones with pointed tips.

The hats have been worn since ancient times to protect the wearer from the sunshine and rain of Vietnam's tropical monsoon climate. There were no archaeological evidence for an ancient origin of Vietnamese nón lá, although the hat itself is widespread across many Asian societies and was often associated with the peasantry. The recent and typical design of the non la was highly modeled after the coolies hat worn by Chinese laborers in British Malaya during the late 19th century.

In Vietnam today, there are a number of traditional hat-making villages, including Đồng Di (Phú Vang), Dạ Lê (Hương Thủy), Trường Giang (Nông Cống), Phủ Cam (Huế), and Chuông (Thanh Oai - Hanoi).
