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. Although the variations of the hat are found across many Asian societies, an image of a predecessor of the nón lá was found carved on the Ngọc Lũ bronze drum and the Đào Thịnh bronze jar around 3000–2500 BP.

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).
