How to Customize a Straw Hat

Straw hats are works of art and can be personalized to express your uniqueness. At Cappelleria Bertacchi, we offer a variety of options to bring out your personality through your straw hat. Choose from various shades of straw and ribbon colors to tailor your hat to your personal style. You can also add details like bows, ribbons, or other decorative elements to create a truly special look. Remember that each hat is a blank canvas that can be transformed into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece!

How to Strengthen a Straw Hat

A straw hat is more than just an accessory; it's an investment. To maintain its original shape and beauty, you can strengthen the straw. A simple trick is to use a light starch spray. Gently dampen the hat with water and then lightly spray the starch all over the surface. Let it air dry naturally so that the straw retains its shape. This will help the hat better withstand daily wear while preserving its rustic charm.

How to Fold a Straw Hat

The flexibility of straw hats is one of their advantages. However, folding them incorrectly can ruin their shape. Here's how to properly fold a straw hat: first, gently remove any ornaments like bows or ribbons. Then, hold the hat by the brim and gently fold the edges upwards. Remember not to overdo the fold to avoid damaging the straw. You can always take and post it to our store in Vancouver and we will take care of it. Store the hat in a dry and airy place to maintain the desired shape and use the re-hydration-solution!

How to Wash a Straw Hat

Proper cleaning is essential to preserve the beauty of your straw hat. The cleaning method depends on the type of straw and the hat's structure. In general, avoid excessive water and gently clean with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a soft-bristle brush to remove dust. For stubborn stains, bring it to us and we will provide a deep cleaning service.

We hope these tips help you keep your Cappelleria Bertacchi straw hats in perfect condition for years to come. With a touch of customization and the right care, your straw hat will always be a distinctive style element that adds charm and elegance to your look.
