The Storia Project Trucker Caps

Roughly three years deep, The Storia Project is the independent and creative outlet of Naomi, who specializes in truly custom leather accessories, purses and one-of-kind, foam trucker caps. Inspired by Naomi’s world adventures and her network of friends, The Storia Project strives to produce trucker caps with a unique style of spontaneously hand-drawn elements, hand scripts, color and poetry. Using the white foam panel as a clean canvas, each cap is designed with spray-paint, stencil or ink. All caps are rather unisex in style with only a few specific pieces geared towards the ladies. Custom works are also available for a bit more but guaranteed to be made specifically to your liking. Definitely check out the complete range of caps and other items on sale at The Storia Project webstore or Etsy shop.
