Collection: Paper Straw Hats Collection

We make hats from many varieties of straw and even some with recycled paper content. This material is sometimes called Toyo. The construction of these hats is either completely hand braided or sometimes it is braided into strips and then sewn together to make the hat body, then blocked into shape by steam. Many of these styles are rated UPF 50+ to provide excellent sun protection and they are also quite water resistant.

Collection Overview

In the vast world of hat craftsmanship, Paper Straw Hats stand out as an epitome of sustainable fashion and versatility. Meticulously crafted using Toyo, a unique blend of straw and recycled paper, these hats are a testament to both traditional techniques and forward-thinking
eco-friendly designs.
