A classic boater with a sheer twist in black straw with black cotton georgette ribbon band and ties. This hat is hand-blocked from seagrass in NYC. The flat crown and brim with an open weave is lightweight and less bulky than traditional straw hats. Plus it has an extra long tie to keep it in place.

Make your merperson who’s magical king father gave you legs dreams come true. This is your chance to do it all, ride a horse, a bike, walk fast in rush hour, go to the beach on a windy day, maybe you even accidentally forget your water bottle and get a slight headache from the heat of the summer, but don’t get bogged down by your sun protecting hat because it’s so light you almost forgot it was there. Good deal.

WHAT’S IN A NAME
Visaya is a region in the Philippines, as well as a dialect of Tagalog. My grandmother is Visaya, and if you saw the seagrass there, you’d wonder why any merperson would ask their father for legs and leave the sea life for our terrestrial one.
