Product Insights
Simons' Floral-Openwork Straw Cloche, at $39 CAD, is the brand's only paper straw cloche with a cutout pattern in the $29–$40 range, offering an ethereal silhouette through its flat cut-out floral design. However, this openwork provides negligible sun protection and no water resistance—moisture permanently damages the shape—and requires storage in a hat box in dry conditions. Priced $10 above a base cutout style but $20–$86 below premium Italian options, it represents a deliberate tradeoff: distinctive, affordable style over durability and functionality.
Verified claims
- Pricing
- $39: $10 over $29 base (cutout pattern); $20–$86 under premium Italian.
- Limitations
- No water resistance, no foldability, no sun protection due to cutouts.
- Styling
- The floral cutout pattern is the key differentiator within Simons' paper-straw cloche line; the hat shares the same light-and-soft paper material as the brand's other straw hats.
- Design
- The floral cutout design gives the hat an ethereal silhouette rather than a structured straw shape.
- Sun protection
- Openwork cutouts and no UPF rating mean this hat provides negligible sun protection.
- Water resistance
- 100% paper straw provides no water resistance; moisture permanently damages shape.
- Care
- Requires a hat box and dry conditions to prevent damage from folding or moisture.
- Openwork
- Floral openwork is a flat cut-out pattern, not embroidered or 3D.
- Softness
- The cloche is made with Simons' light-and-soft paper straw, giving it a soft, lightweight feel.

Compared within this brand.
| Floral-Openwork Straw Cloche: Choose this if you want a light, soft hat made of 100% paper straw with a vintage-inspired cloche silhouette, including a rounded crown, downward-sloping brim, and a decorative openwork floral band around the crown in a uniform medium brown. The adjustable inner band with thin cords helps fine-tune the fit, though it comes only in a one-size option, so it may not suit every head size.[1,2] | Colourful Straw Cloche: Choose this if you want a lightweight, breathable paper straw cloche for summer sun — reviewers report the wide brim shades the face and neck and it folds flat into luggage without creasing. It comes in one size with an adjustable hook-and-loop inner band, though it can fit loosely on smaller heads and may shift in wind, with some wearers adding foam strips or hair clips for stability. It is offered in Black and Navy/Midnight Blue, but if a true white shade matters to you, note that the off-white colorway reportedly arrives as a warm beige.[3] | Mini Flower Raffia Cloche: Choose this if you want a classic cloche silhouette, with a rounded dome crown and smoothly downturned brim, in a light and soft material described by Simons as paper straw and listed as 100% raffia. It suits shoppers who like decorative touches: embroidered brown starburst flowers and turquoise-green stem motifs circle the brim over a ribbed woven texture. The one-size fit includes an adjustable inner band, though the page does not resolve how the paper straw and raffia descriptions relate.[4,5] |
