Raffia Beach Hat — Handmade Woven Sun Hat

Woven beats moulded in real heat

A moulded synthetic sun hat traps heat against your scalp until you take it off, which defeats the point. Hand-woven raffia lets air move through the crown while still blocking the sun, which is why the hot countries have made hats this way for centuries.

Why raffia

• Hand-woven raffia — air moves through the crown
• Soft brim — packs without breaking
• Very light — forgettable through a long day
• Natural finish — ages rather than looking worn
