Wide-brim straw stunner to shade in the warmer months. A sisal straw capeline was shaped over a wooden hat block and stiffened to create the umbrella-like brim, perfect for shading on a sunny summer day and impressing anyone in your path. A sailboat formed from sisal straw adorns the crown, with a coral ribbon accessory.
This one-of-a-kind piece is hand-painted with a New England summer in mind.
"Sometimes I feel this summer as if I were walking through the green meadow again, idly, aimlessly, unthinking and unguided."
-Kate Chopin, The Awakening
