Amazing isn’t it? I have actually watched the weavers’ fingers as they create these incredible lacy designs before my very eyes-and I still can’t believe it.
The all Lace Breton has geometric designs of open and solid weave in both the crown and the brim. It weighs exactly half of nothing.
A Spring or Summer hat, casual or dressy. Garden parties, backyard barbecues, White House meetings in the Rose Garden, afternoon tea on the veranda of the Moana Surfrider Hotel as the setting sun turns a green Diamond Head to gold.
Field reports suggest the Lace Breton is compatible with champagne flutes and wedding bells.
The ribbon on this one is a simple crisscross. If you prefer a bow, as shown on the other two Breton styles, just let me know.
The hat in the style photos is size 67⁄8, crown 4 inches, brim 33⁄4 inches, ribbon 1⁄2 inch black grosgrain.
