Desmonda Hat in Natural/Seaglass

The Desmonda Hat by Helen Kaminski expertly blends functional design with meticulous craftsmanship. Crafted by hand from sustainably harvested Madagascan raffia, it features a tall fedora crown and an 8 cm brim that can be rolled and packed for convenient travel. An inner neoprene band combined with an adjustable raffia tie allows for a tailored fit, reducing size by 1–2 cm. The natural resin in raffia offers softness and resilience, preventing brittleness common in traditional straw. To preserve its shape, gently steam and spot clean with a damp cloth. Each hat is individually handmade, with unique variations that add to its distinct character.
