Inspired by the textured mats traditionally used to press olive oil, this rustic raffia hat is hand-stitched into a coil that gradually eases out to its final shape. The narrowish crown flares out into a relaxed, sun-sheltering brim evocative of beach hats of the ‘50s while the very tip of the hat features a sublet dimple reminiscent of an olive. The material is so textural that the hat needs no ornamentation.

Made from a rustic raffia braid that is hand-stitched edge to edge, this chic bucket provides excellent sun protection. The slanted crown on top of the downward-sloping brim will keep the wearer shaded. It should be worn slightly higher on the head so that the brim does not cover too much of the eyes. This can be achieved with the help of the adjustable head size.

This is a basic fedora with a brim large enough to provide plenty of sun protection. After the raffia tape is stitched into shape, the hat is dunked into a bucket of water, soaked overnight, and then molded and pressed. Once dried, it becomes soft and pliable, with striations of color that are unique to each hat. The Chewing Gum is ideal for traveling—it can take endless abuse without losing its nonchalant charm. Floppy and unstructured, the hat tends to fit loosely.
