Hand-Woven Wide-Brim Straw Sun Hat

Shade that travels well. Woven by hand from papyrus grass, this hat has the dry, faintly grassy texture of true straw and enough body to hold its shape from the first morning swim to a late lunch outdoors.

The dome crown sits close without pressing, and the 14cm brim angles out to cover the brow, cheeks and neck. Air moves through the weave, so the head stays cool in high summer, and the brim holds steady in a coastal breeze.

Choose brown for a deeper, sun-warmed tone, or creamy white and milky white for something lighter against linen, cotton and swimwear. It reads casual with a sundress and a basket bag, and quietly polished over a plain white shirt.

One hat arrives ready for the season: pack it brim-up in a bag, then smooth the weave back into place with your hands.
