The Tunisian chechia, chachia, or chachiya, is a well-known headpiece throughout the Mediterranean world. This hat, a close cousin of the beret, is the national hat of Tunisia. In June 2018, Tunisian fans honored Tunisia by cheering on their national team participating in the FIFA World Cup and by promoting Tunisian culture through its star item, the chechia, a red wool hat, the color of the national flag!

The manufacture of the chechia was considered a refined art obeying strict traditional principles.
Traditionally, the artisanal Tunisian chechia was made from combed wool, then knitted by women who crafted the "kabbous" caps.

Generally, the wool spinning takes place in Djerba or Gafsa, then the knitting is delegated to the expert "Kabbasat" of Ariana, the fulling continues in the waters of the Medjerda in El Batan, the carding is performed in El Alia where the thistles originate, then the dyeing is infused in Zaghouan.
The finishing touches and shaping are finally completed in Tunis. At this frantic pace of production, the Chechia certainly traveled much more than the humans who made it…

Maintaining a 100% wool Tunisian chechia:

1. Careful hand washing: Avoid washing the wool chechia in the machine, as this could cause shrinkage or deformation. Prefer hand washing with lukewarm water and a specific mild detergent such as the one from the brand monsapo for wool. Wash it delicately by pressing gently to avoid stretching it.
2. Flat drying: Do not wring out the chechia to remove excess water. Place it flat on an absorbent towel and let it dry naturally. Avoid direct exposure to the sun, as this could alter the color of the wool.
3. Delicate brushing: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove lint and restore softness to the wool chechia. Brush gently in the direction of the fibers to avoid any damage.

Styling a wool chechia:

1. Adjust the shape: After washing, adjust the shape of the wool chechia by handling it gently. Ensure the shape is even and that it fits your head well. This will help maintain a neat appearance.
2. Add accessories: Personalize your wool chechia by adding accessories, such as a brooch, ribbon, or discreet badge. This can bring a personal and stylish touch to your outfit.
3. Layer with other pieces: Combine your wool chechia with other clothing and accessories to create interesting layers. For example, wear it under a denim jacket or with a matching scarf for an original and trendy look.
