The Grey Heron is a study in quiet sophistication. It is woven in genuine toquilla straw, then gently dyed and tumbled to achieve its distinctive dove-grey tone. The result is a hat that feels soft, lived-in, and refined, with a complex depth of colour that shifts subtly in the light.
Unlike stark greys or flat colour treatments, the Heron grey is soft and silken. The straw has natural movement, and a slight patina elevates the hat’s presence. It lifts pale skin, works effortlessly with monochromes and neutrals, and adds a striking layer to minimal wardrobes.
This modern classic is structured but approachable, toned but expressive — designed for those who want their hat to speak with elegance rather than volume.
✦ Key Features
6cm Brim A classic mid-width brim that balances face framing and sun protection. Held firm enough for structure, but soft enough for everyday use.
8.5cm Low Diamond Crown A gently tapered Truffaux-style crown that provides shape without feeling rigid. Universally flattering and well-proportioned.
Tumbled Dove-Grey Dye Softly dyed and gently aged for tonal variation. The result is a complex grey that feels more like light, more like mood, than paint.
Lightweight & Breathable The natural toquilla straw remains light and cool, perfect for warmer climates and long wear.
Hand-Finished with Precision Trimmed and shaped by hand to maintain perfect symmetry, subtle lines, and comfort.
✦ Why It Works
The Grey Heron doesn’t blend in — but it doesn’t shout either. It stands out through tone, texture, and presence. The grey lifts pale complexions, adds depth to dark wardrobes, and feels modern without losing its timelessness.
It’s easy to bring complexity and polish to your look, whether paired with natural linens, tailored layers, or worn-in denim. Customers often describe it as “the hat that makes everything else look better.”
✦ Ideal For:
Those who love subtle statement pieces with a modern edge
Pale or cool-toned complexions seeking a flattering neutral-grey hair too
Minimalist or monochrome wardrobes
Daily wear in spring and summer climates
Men and women seeking softness with an undercurrent of strength
This hat looks fantastic, the quality is obvious and the speckled grey brim nicely breaks up the white, giving it a very smart point of difference. I've never been a hat person, but this hat looks so good and is so light and comfortable, that it has already seen a lot of time on my head. Well done!!
