This is our retro Miami, Florida logo, printed in weathered charcoal on a retro vintage washed cap — an unstructured cotton dad hat that looks broken in from the day it arrives. The charcoal carries a faint wavering tone and a light speckle, so the print reads like it has been in the sun as long as the cap has.

One size fits most, so it is an easy gift to get right: no size to guess, only the town. Each cap is made to order. Hand wash cold and air dry, and keep it out of the dryer.

The Tequesta lived at the mouth of the Miami River for centuries before Henry Flagler’s railway arrived in April 1896 and Julia Tuttle’s campaign incorporated the City of Miami on July 28 of that year, with 502 residents; she remains the only woman to found a major American city. The 1920s land boom built George Merrick’s Coral Gables and James Deering’s Vizcaya.

Between 1923 and 1943 more than eight hundred buildings went up in the Art Deco Historic District, the largest concentration of Art Deco in the world. Biscayne Bay, the Everglades at the city’s back and the causeways to the beach define it, and every generation has reinvented it. The Magic City is the mark on this piece.

The cap is 8.5 oz 100% cotton twill, enzyme washed and heavily brushed for a soft hand, with an unstructured six-panel crown, a mid-profile fit and a curved bill. A self-fabric strapback with a metal slider adjusts the fit and tucks away, and a self-fabric sweatband lines the inside. It is garment dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes, so every cap's color varies slightly — washed here means faded color and a weathered print, not distressed or frayed.

What’s with the Queen of Salsa? Celia Cruz was born in Havana in 1925 with a voice that could fill a carnival, and when she left Cuba on tour in 1960, after the revolution, she never went home again. Miami became her second island. On Calle Ocho in Little Havana — among the cafecito windows and the domino tables — she was simply Celia: the Queen of Salsa, the Afro-Cuban dance music she carried around the world for four decades, her trademark shout of ¡Azúcar! ringing from every stage. In March 1988 she led the Calle Ocho festival’s conga line into the record books — some 119,000 dancers behind her, the largest ever — and in 1994 the nation awarded her the National Medal of Arts. In 2024 the nation honored her again — the United States Mint issued the Celia Cruz quarter in the American Women Quarters Program, its reverse showing her mid-song in a rumba dress with ¡AZÚCAR! inscribed beside her, the first Afro-Latina ever to appear on United States currency.

The Freedom Tower, opened in 1925 and modeled on Seville’s Giralda, served as the Cuban Refugee Center from 1962 to 1974 — "the Ellis Island of the South."

Why People Visit Miami Florida

Miami offers a founding story with an orange blossom at its center, a refugee tower that welcomed the community that remade the city, cafecito through walk-up windows, boom-era Mediterranean fantasies, and tropical light on Biscayne Bay. Visitors come for Little Havana, the Deco-era heritage, the bay, the Everglades at the back door, and the winter that made the city famous. Magic City since 1896.
