Product Insights
The Raffia Hat With Long Black Ribbons from Canadian Hat is a handcrafted, made-in-Canada piece with a heritage dating to 1918 and Paris-trained design pedigree. Its long black ribbons offer dramatic contrast and versatile styling—loose, tied, or asymmetrical—for casual to dressy looks, while the half-banded design exposes the raffia crown and allows ribbons to shift without breaking the brim line. The hat bounces back from crushing but is not waterproof and can become brittle with prolonged sun or moisture; care requires only a soft brush or damp cloth. On sale at CAD 89.95, it undercuts luxury French rivals but trades sun protection (no certified UPF 50+) and rugged use for fashion-forward appeal, making it ideal for beach trips, dressy occasions, and travel—though it is currently out of stock.
