HAT CARE 

SUN

Our sun hats are expertly handmade in our Melbourne studio using handwoven straws created from plant fibre. They are reinforced with an acrylic mesh to ensure breathability, durability and packability.

Ease- of- travel has forged the blueprint for The Sun Collection. with each hat folding down to pack away and take on your next adventure. While they are durable, as each hat is handcrafted, we ask they are handled with consideration and care.

How To Care For Your Handmade Sun Hat. 

Fold your hat carefully down at the side seams of your brim, place in your custom storage bag, gently fold the sides in and tie. This ensures your hat does not crease at the front of the brim and damaged the straw.

Please be gentle folding and rolling your hat and do not crush or place any weight on your folded hat.

You can press creases out of your hat as you would any garment. Place your hat right side down and gently press the wrong (under)side of the brim and the insides of the crown (head) hat with an warm iron and pressing cloth.

Alternatively you can steam your hat or spray any creases with a fine mist of water.

Do not leave your hat in the car or in direct sunlight when not being worn.

Avoid exposure to salt or chlorinated water.

A soft brush can be used to remove dust.

Your hat can be gently spot cleaned with a mild soap solution and cold water.  Pat gently with a cloth, then rinse. Do not use chemical cleaners. If it gets wet, dry away from direct sunlight.

Colours may soften & fibres may become more fragile over time.

Any potential irregularities in the fibre, weave and dye finish are common and characteristic of the handmade process.
