New Style: 'Talia' in Straw

Our latest summer style, the 'Talia', is made from a finely woven, spiral-sewn Milan straw. It's trimmed with luscious rayon velvet ribbon, graphic crocheted veiling, and a big spray of peacock hurl feathers.

Shown here in navy blue with teal ribbon and veiling, and natural blue/green iridescent peacock feathers.

The size of the crown is rather mini, so the hat is held in place with combs or an elastic under your hair in back. The picture-hat brim is on the wide side, though, offering sun protection and a pretty frame for your pretty face.


I can't pass up an opportunity to cock a hat. I just love the undulating shape of tricorns and bicorns, and there are so many fascinating shapes to be made by flipping a brim up or down.

The Talia's brim has a cocked-up section at one side in the back, creating a graceful curve for the brim and offering a sexy peek at the back of your head and neck. Mini hats are a great way to wear a hat but have a hairstyle at the same time, because your hair is mostly not covered. The Talia would look great with lots of hairstyles, from something elaborate to a simple bun, or even nicely coiffed short hair.

It's also available in classic black.

The 'Talia' is available for purchase now in our Etsy store.
