How to wash and pack: Hand washable and Wrinkle-free
Some hats are hand washable and can be easily shaped while drying
We recommend washing your hat by hand in cold water using a mild liquid soap to clean the dirty area. Alternatively, with ammonia
To dry, air dry or use a hairdryer on a cool setting to dry and shape your hat
These sun hat styles are durable, crush-resistant, and ideal for travel
Hand-washable fabrics can be wet without damaging the weave, making them ideal for travel!
To pack these styles, push the crown of the hat down to flatten the hat. Lay it flat in your suitcase so that it will not be folded or creased
Gently steam your hat to remove creases or wrinkles
How to clean and pack:
Typically, hand-woven fabrics like Raffia, natural fibers, and non-colorfast styles should be spot cleaned without being immersed in water.
We recommend cleaning the dirty area with a damp wipe or damp cloth only. Handled with care when packing, these hats are not wrinkle-free.
Although their natural materials are durable, spot cleaning and careful handling ensure an even longer lifespan and help them maintain their elegant shape.
To pack these headwear items, place your clothes around the edges of your suitcase, leaving the middle of your suitcase free for your hat. Place your hat upside down in your suitcase, and put scarves and other soft accessories inside the hat.
Gently steam your hat to remove creases and wrinkles
