100% RAFFIA Seamlessly hand crocheted from high-quality Madagascan raffia. This material is innately pliant and durable. Due to a natural resin, this material maintains its unique silhouette while offering the ability to be rolled and packed. Soft creases in the brim and crown may appear after rolling, however, these can be easily steamed, and the style blocked back into its original shape. Created by a multi-step process that combines technology with traditional methods, raffia is first hand selected before being dyed and hand crocheted. There are in excess of 18,000 expertly formed stitches with no seams. Small fly away fibres can simply be trimmed causing no structural damage to the style. We do not recommend allowing a style to be submerged in water. To clean, do not use any harsh chemical or dry clean, simply wipe with a damp cloth. Variations in raffia crochet styles are an indication of the unique and authentic character of each handmade piece.
