The Golden Casablanca

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
