Hand Crocheted Organic Raffia Straw


Raffia palms thrive in Madagascar and east Africa, reaching heights of more than 45 feet. Their leaves are the longest in the plant kingdom, growing up to 75 inches. As the palm grows, branches produce seed and then drop from the tree for harvesting. The branch fiber, mature seeds and fronds have many uses, but it is the membrane of the underside of each frond that is carefully peeled off and dried to create the beautiful woven raffia hats that are all handmade. Raffia palms are hardy and prolific in their natural habitat, shedding their leaves naturally, they have been recognized as a renewable resource for products that have an especially low impact on the environment.

The Scala Crocheted Raffia Straw Floppy Chincord Hat looks good on practically every head it is placed upon.

Packable, wide-brim sun hat

I ordered this hat due to its packability. The wide-brim offers extra sun protection, and the draw string keeps it on my head on a windy day. I definitely recommend this hat to someone with an average or larger head size. Mine is 6 3/4, so I had to add lining to the hat band. As stated, "fits most".

Best looking, easy to clean, no downside.

I've worn this exact hat for about ten years and finally the first two are wearing out. They were hard to find the last few years. The new one is going to Europe with me in a few weeks where people will stop me on the street to compliment the hat. It's comfortable, too, and eco-correcto. The near-solid crochet keeps the sun out of the eyes and off the face.
