The Oceanic

Cool Light, Clear Presence

The Oceanic is calm, composed, and quietly beautiful — a powder-blue Panama with clean lines and a softly structured shape. Woven in genuine toquilla straw and dyed to an even, delicate blue, it offers a more refined finish than the washed chambray of the Meridien — more polished, less weathered, but just as easy to wear.

With its 5cm brim and 8.5cm crown, the Oceanic follows the graceful lines of our Meridien, but the effect is subtly different: crisper, cooler, and more serene. It pairs effortlessly with white, cream, grey, navy, or soft florals, bringing lightness to olive skin and depth to blue eyes.

It’s the kind of hat that gives you presence without drama — fresh, balanced, and remarkably versatile.

✦ Key Features

• 5cm Reinforced Brim
  A balanced mid-width brim for sun protection and elegance — firm enough to hold shape, soft enough for daily wear.

• 8.5cm Centre Dent Crown
  A gently tapered, well-proportioned crown — comfortable, flattering, and suited to most head shapes.

• Even Powder Blue Dye
  Soft, cool, and consistent in tone, it is designed to maintain clarity and colour integrity over time. It has a more refined look than the textured wash of the Meridien.

• Lightweight Toquilla Straw
  Handwoven in Ecuador, breathable and light, perfect for warm climates, travel, and long days outdoors.

• Finished with Subtle Detail
  Typically paired with a matching or tonal grosgrain band for a clean, unified look.

• Hand-Shaped and Balanced
  Finished in our atelier with care to maintain proportion, symmetry, and a naturally elegant fit.

✦ Why It Works

The Oceanic brings colour into your wardrobe without loudness—a clear and cool soft post, even dye, and clean lines give it polish, while the natural straw and easy shape keep it grounded.

This hat is for clear days, coastal mornings, gallery strolls, or quiet long weekends. It’s especially flattering on those with cool undertones, blue eyes, or olive skin, where the powder blue lifts and illuminates without overwhelming.

✦ Ideal For:

• Customers who love the Meridien shape but want a cooler, more refined tone

• Women with fair, olive, or cool-toned skin seeking a soft, flattering blue

• Summer holidays, spring events, beach towns, rooftops, and gentle glamour

• Natural fibres, soft tailoring, and elegant minimalism

• Those seeking a colour hat that feels timeless, not trendy
