The Toulouse Boater is a great versatile summer straw hat.

This beautiful new addition to the Suzannah London Straw Couture collection is made from fine brisa weave panama straw, which has been handwoven by craftsmen in Ecuador and blocked into a sharp wide brim boater.

The boater is trimmed with a wide navy gros grain ribbon bow, with tails that fall down to the nape of the neck. The bow is finished with a stunning gold pin with pearl effect detailing, all of which is hand sewn in the milliners UK atelier.

The hat has a butter soft leather inner band.

Designed in collaboration with talented British milliner Ruth Merlin Ravenscroft. 

A sustainable addition to the Suzannah collection, which has been styled with the sensational Delphine Dress in Navy Cloqué

This hat is best stored carefully between wearing packed in tissue in its box.
Pack this hat with the brim flat on the bottom of the box, and store the box flat, to avoid miss-shaping the brim.
Avoid leaving it out in the sun when not worn as the straw will become brittle over time.
This can be avoided by giving it a light mist of water occasionally and letting it dry thoroughly before re packing.
Any straw left in the sun will either fade or become a deeper tone of gold over time.
When this eventually happens it adds charm and character to a casual hat.
