Product Insights
Hand-finished with a rolled-hem brim and tone-on-tone cord, this 100% raffia hat from Simons' exclusive Italian collection offers a tactile, nautical aesthetic and light water resistance without synthetic treatments. Its hidden adjustable band provides a secure fit, while the rolled-hem construction prevents unraveling during packing. However, the hat softens and conforms to the head over time and demands careful storage in a hat box to maintain its shape.

Deep Research
The rolled-hem brim and what it adds
- Rather than leaving the brim edge raw — which eventually leads to unraveling with raffia’s natural texture — the rolled hem folds and secures the fiber, keeping the silhouette crisp through years of wear.
- A tone-on-tone knotted cord at the crown echoes the hand-finished rolled hem and adds a subtle textural accent — along with its Italian origin, this signals a more refined sun hat than those left without such detailing.
Why 100% raffia works for a summer hat
- Raffia fibers grow softer as they are handled, unlike paper straws that can crack over time, so this hat will conform to your head shape and feel more personalized with every wear.
- Unlike many natural fibers that soak through, raffia naturally repels light moisture — a summer shower won't instantly ruin the hat, and you don't have to treat it with synthetic waterproofing sprays to get basic protection.
- Raffia grows on palm trees that are not cut down — only the leaves are harvested, sun-dried, and stripped by hand — making it one of the few millinery materials that is both fully biodegradable and renewable without irrigation or fertilizers, which appeals if you factor a hat's end-of-life into the purchase.
- Raffia fibers have a high strength-to-weight ratio: they maintain structural integrity through seasons of regular use, so hats like this hold their shape and resist tearing even when packed or handled daily, making raffia a practical choice for a travel hat that needs to survive more than one vacation.
- The uneven hand of the raffia fiber — slight variations in width and a matte, natural sheen — gives the hat a tactile, organic feel that synthetic straws can't replicate, which is why high-end summer hats like this lean on the real material over extruded plastic imitations.
- Raffia is a palm-leaf fiber that is notably lighter and more porous than most millinery straws — on a hat like this, that means all-day wearability in high heat without the weight or clamminess that can make other summer hats feel bothersome.
How the adjustable inner band works and fits
- Because the adjustable band is stitched inside the crown, the hat's rolled-hem brim and tone-on-tone knotted cord remain the visual centerpiece — the fit customization is invisible from the outside, so the hat keeps its slim, handcrafted silhouette regardless of how much you let out or take in.
- The hook-and-loop band uses friction-driven fasteners that lock at any point along the strap, allowing you to dial in exactly the right tension — snug enough for a windy afternoon yet never so tight that the straw feels strained against the hair.
How this hat fits in Simons' exclusive Italian collection
- Because the 'exclusive collection from Italy' is developed solely for Simons, this hat's specific combination of raffia, rolled hem, and knotted cord isn't replicated at other retailers, giving it a small distinctiveness edge over more widely available Italian straw hats.
- Where streamlined pieces like the $59 fine-bow paper straw cloche and $150 minimal Panama define the Italian-exclusive collection, this model's rolled-hem brim and tone-on-tone knotted cord introduce a textured, nautical character that stands out as the most tactile option in the line's sub-$100 bracket.
- At $69, this Italian-exclusive raffia hat costs $40 more than Simons' $29 entry-level straw hats (such as the Trimmed Straw Panama or Crocheted Paper Straw Cloche), a gap explained by the 100% raffia material, Italian import, and the exclusive collection's design details.
- Simons' exclusive Italian headwear line ranges from a $50 cashmere balaclava to a $150 Italian straw Panama, with this $69 rolled-hem raffia hat sitting in the accessible raffia tier — a $10 premium over the $59 paper straw cloche that reflects the natural fiber upgrade.

Bien proportionné, un peu lourd, à ce prix il aurait pu avoir une finition plus raffinée.
Q&A
2 answered- How should I clean and store this raffia hat to maintain its shape?
- To clean, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid soaking. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, preferably in a hat box or on a form to maintain shape. Do not crush or fold.
- Can this hat be folded or packed in luggage without permanent damage?
- Raffia hats can be packed but may lose shape if crushed. We recommend stuffing the crown with tissue and placing in a hard-sided hat box or top of luggage to avoid pressure. Avoid folding the brim.
