White Pleated Sun-Travel Hat

This is the linen-cotton hat I wanted but could never find: beautiful enough to make you feel pulled together, durable enough to toss in the back of the car, and packable enough to fold into a beach bag, suitcase, backpack, or whatever tote you are pretending is organized. It packs flat. Pancake flat. Without drama. The brim has wire inside, so you can shape it the way you like. A little down for more shade. A little up when you want to see who just walked by in that questionable cover-up. It keeps its shape, but it is not stiff or bossy about it.

The linen gives it that softer, prettier feeling I was after. It feels feminine without being fussy. It looks polished without trying too hard. And yes, it has a  detachable chinstrap.

• 55% linen/ 45% cotton
• adjustable sizing tab inside to fit all sizes of heads.
• detachable strap with wooden toggle
• Wire brim 
• Due to its size and packaging, we are unable to offer gift wrapping for this product.

I once designed hats for Ralph Lauren. I love hats. I own too many hats. I have strong feelings about hats. And somehow, I still didn’t have a favorite beach and travel hat.

The pretty straw ones don’t pack. The practical sun hats make me look like I’m leading a nature walk. And a baseball cap leaves half your face and neck exposed, which is rude to your future self. So I designed the hat I wanted. Feminine. Packable. Protective. Not precious.

It folds flat, has a shapeable wire brim, gives real sun coverage, and yes — it has a removable chinstrap for windy beaches, boats, and other glamorous weather events. A beach hat that looks pretty and behaves itself.
