Why Raffia Travels So Well

Raffia fiber is strong for its weight and naturally flexible, so a raffia hat can be rolled or flattened into a suitcase and shaken back into shape at the destination - the quality Raffiahats.com has built its business on since 1989. The same open, airy construction breathes in heat, which makes raffia a garden, beach and sightseeing hat as much as a travel hat. Crocheted raffia is the most packable of all, since it has no stiffening to crack; woven raffia with a wired or stitched brim holds a crisper line and still packs with care.

Choosing and Caring for Raffia

Decide how the hat will be used: a wide crocheted brim for shade that packs to nothing, or a shaped woven style, such as the Scala ladies' hats Raffiahats.com features, when the hat is part of the outfit. Raffia dislikes soaking - a wet hat should be reshaped by hand and air-dried, never heated - and it stores best loosely stuffed in a dry place. Prescott Hats pairs raffia crushers with canvas, western and leather hats, a useful reminder that raffia is the summer and travel member of a working hat wardrobe, not the rain member.
