Ikea Is Selling Bucket Hats Made From Their Iconic Shopping Bags
Ikea may be your go-to for easy-to-assemble flat-pack furniture, but it looks like the Swedish store is venturing into another popular retail category: fashion. The brand's iconic blue shopping bags are getting the upcycle treatment, becoming fisherman-style bucket hats-with the recognizable logo on the front, of course.
According to Hunker, the store's FRAKTA shopping bags are being taken from everyday items and turned into hats that are 3 1/2 inches tall and about 6 inches in diameter-so unless you've got a gigantic skull, it should fit you just fine.
People are already going crazy for these blue bucket hats, even tweeting to Ikea itself to ask where they can cop the latest fashion statement in home goods.

Those with a keen entrepreneurial mind have already taken to listing the plastic hats on reseller websites like EBay and Mercari, with prices ranging from $14 to $29.99-as you can see, the hype is real.
The last time Ikea dabbled in fashion was actually when they teamed up with LA-based brands Chinatown Market and Pleasures to create the FRAKTA bag baseball hat. I may be biased, but I think the bucket hat is even trendier than its predecessor.
WARNING: According to the IKEAUSAHelp Twitter page, these fashion staples have only been made in a limited quantity-if you're trying to flex on your friends and fam at a barbecue this weekend, you're better off perusing through the internet for some deals on the hat than trying to race to your nearest store.
