All backed by our B-Corp certification - the highest verifiable standard of environmental and social impact
Hat Body: All Natural Palm Straw
Sweatband: Soft Cotton Twill
Lanyard Accessory: Cotton & Leather
Palm straw is lightweight, breathable, and suitable for all seasons. Each palm frond is carefully split from the plant and then braided by hand to form the core structure of our hats. By weaving the palm straw, it becomes a robust and durable band that can withstand all conditions.
We use natural fibres that fit within natural carbon cycles. We only use synthetic fibres where a natural alternative is unavailable so that it won't cost the earth later. We don't mix fibres so that we can separate components for reuse or recycling.

Love this hat. Lightweight and great sun protection even when it's windy.
"If you’re looking for a straw hat that actually feels like a luxury piece, this is it. The material is excellent and the fit is spot on. It looks very high-end and fashionable. I’ve worn it to the beach and was shocked by how much attention it got. Definitely a 10/10 purchase."

I have owned this for just over two years, I love the look and lightness of the straw, but unfortunately the pinch of the crown and a section at the back of the crown is rapidly disintegrating. I haven’t worn it that often so hoped it might have lasted another year. Maybe a pinch reinforcement like many Panama hats might help.
