The Golden Casablanca Fedora
Sun Protection with Poise
The Golden Casablanca is a wide-brimmed Panama designed to offer elegant sun coverage with a natural, relaxed finish. It’s crafted from handwoven toquilla straw and gently dyed to a warm golden hue, giving the hat a soft, sun-kissed tone that flatters the skin and wears beautifully over time.
The crown shape is classic Casablanca: rounded and generous, it sits slightly lower on the head than a typical fedora. Combined with the broad, flowing brim, it creates a silhouette that’s both graceful and practical—ideal for strong sun and open spaces. Think beachside lunches, garden weddings, and long walks through the vines.
Unlike the creamy tone of undyed natural straw (as in the Traveller), this golden finish adds depth and colour without feeling artificial. It softens the contrast against fair or freckled skin and provides a more forgiving surface for wear and patina.
✦ Key Features
Gently Dyed Golden Straw Made from traditional toquilla straw and dyed to a soft golden tone—richer than raw straw but still organic and understated—each hat has natural variation in tone and weave. It is silky, soft, and lustrous.
Wide Brim for Maximum Shade A 7cm brim provides excellent facial, neck, and shoulder coverage. It is firmly shaped for structure, with enough flexibility to move with the breeze.
Rounded Casablanca Crown The full, rounded crown offers a comfortable fit and suits a wide range of face shapes, including rounder or softer profiles.
Breathable and Lightweight Despite its size, the hat is light and cool to wear. It is unlined for airflow and fitted with a soft internal band for comfort.
Hand-Finished in Our Atelier Each hat is blocked, shaped, and trimmed by hand to ensure balance, proportion, and long-lasting quality.
✦ Why It Works
The Golden Casablanca is a rare wide-brim hat that feels elevated, wearable, and grounded. It offers strong sun protection without bulk and presence without drama. The golden tone gives it an earthier, more forgiving character than white, making it easier to wear, easier to love, and more versatile for real life.
This hat is especially popular with gardeners, travellers, brides, and sun-sensitive customers who want full coverage in a hat that still feels feminine and elegant.
✦ Ideal For:
Outdoor events, garden parties, holidays, and weddings
Strong sun environments where full brim coverage is essential
Skin tones that suit warmer or golden hues
Women seeking an elegant alternative to standard sun hats or stiff white Panamas
Oska was so helpful in finding the perfect hat. My wife had commented before that she didn't love taller traditional hats and so the casablanca was perfect.

Guided to exactly what I wanted
The hat is great - really nice shape, clearly well made from quality materials that is a considerable step up for me.
The real point of difference however is Oska. His expertise and communication is exemplary, and all the options he gave made sense, and allowed me to make an informed choice based on my use case. His videos and other resources also provide a lot of guidance in wearing and using the hat.
Shipping and packaging was really good, and the included hat spacers and easy to follow instructions work exactly as advertised.
Couldn't be better. Will definitely purchase again, despite being the other side of the world!

Great Hat
Great hat, good looking, nice to the touch, feels and looks as a luxurious product. Arrived relatively fast (considering the distance from Australia). Package was as done as promised. I have only one wish: if your website suggested to add that beautiful red Truffaux box to the package, that would make it perfectly complete. Thank you!
Thanks Alex - I am sorry about the boxes, they are all sold out and I am hoping to have them again by the end of the year. I love them too - it's a money thing.
