Artesano Praia - Spring Panama Hat

Artesano Praia - Spring Panama Hat Refined and elegant, the Praia is made of crochet straw. A touch of sophistication for both casual and formal occasions. •Handmade in Ecuador from 100% Toquilla straw •Brim size: 6" • Inner adjustable band  Large is the average hat size for women. • If in between sizes, we recommend going up in size as most of our hats have adjustable inner bands to tighten the inner crown.  • The inner adjustable band is hidden within the band with our tag. Behind the strip you'll feel a velcro tab. Pull this tab and adjust accordingly to tighten the hat.   HAT CARE GUIDELINES WEARING Use the brim when removing or putting on your hat and avoid crushing the hat. Inside, there is an adjustable band sewn into the inner circumference of the hat, you can make the size up to 1 size smaller using this band.  CLEANING & RESHAPING Remove stains or spots with a damp cloth and soap dabbing the stain spot with the cloth. Repeat this process with a damp cloth without soap and let air dry. If the hat or bag has been left on a humid space this may distort the straw. Lay a damp cloth or t-shirt on the part that needs to be reshaped and pass a warm iron over it to reshape it. This method can be used to manipulate the shape of the brim if you prefer it to flip up or down, as well.  STORING We recommend you store your hat or bag in a cool, dry place on a shelf away from direct sunlight, otherwise this might discolor or distort the shape. AVOID CONTACT WITH WATER OR MOISTURE and away from excess heat as straw may become brittle and crack. Avoid leaving inside your car.   FELTED WOOL A lint roller or soft brush will clean off most particles, dust and hair. For light stains, use a dye-free dampened cloth with water and lightly rub. Leave your hat to dry if wet. Do not use heat.
