Description
This is a wide-brimmed hat woven entirely from seagrass, a natural plant fibre with a slightly irregular texture. It is 41.5cm across and 12cm tall, so most of that width belongs to the brim: a generous circle around a neat, rounded crown. The weave runs in a close chevron pattern, broken by a single row of open stitches around the crown, and the brim is finished with a bound edge. Its Natural colour is simply the colour of the grass, and at 0.063KG it sits very lightly on the head.
We see it doing two jobs. Worn, it is a garden hat for summer days spent picking flowers, tending beds or walking, and a brim this wide shades the face. Off the head, it becomes decoration in its own right. Hang it from a hook or peg on a wall indoors, or outside under a sheltered overhang, or leave it resting on a bench or stool in a bathroom, where the round shape and the texture of the weave soften a run of plain, hard surfaces. It suits anyone who enjoys natural materials about the house and wants a hat that looks as good hanging up as it does being worn.
The hat is made from 100% seagrass, woven from crown to brim with no band or trim added, so the grass itself does all the work. Seagrass is a natural material, so the tone and the weave vary a little from one piece to the next; no two hats are quite alike, and that slight irregularity is part of the charm. For a simple display, hang it on a single peg against a pale wall, where the chevron weave shows at its best, or lay it crown up on a wooden bench beside a folded linen towel.

Frequently Asked
What is the hat made of?
It is made from 100% seagrass, a natural plant fibre, woven in a close chevron pattern from the crown right out to the bound edge of the brim.
How big is the hat?
It is 41.5cm across and 12cm tall. Most of that width is brim, which spreads in a generous circle around a neat, rounded crown.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 0.063KG, so it is very light to wear on a warm day and easy to hang from a small hook or peg on the wall.
Can I wear it as well as display it?
Yes. It is a proper wide-brimmed hat for the garden or a summer walk, and between outings it hangs on a wall or rests on a bench as decoration.
Will every hat look exactly the same?
Not quite. Seagrass is a natural material, so the tone and the weave vary a little from one hat to the next, which is part of its character.
What colour is it?
It is Natural, the plain colour of the seagrass itself, with no band or trim, so it sits easily alongside wood, linen and stone around the house.
