The Lawn Boater is a super stylish piece of couture straw headwear, hand blocked by traditional hat makers in Germany, after being made from cuenca weave straw using artisan techniques by a small local community in Ecuador.

Designed in collaboration with the talented British milliner, Ruth Merlin Ravenscroft, The Lawn Boater is trimmed with a hand cut leather band, made by artisans in Shropshire from re-purposed couture leather. Finished with a grosgrain ribbon and gold coloured metal trim. The low crown gives it a boater feel, and a flattering gently sloping brim.

The Lawn Boater is a great, versatile summer straw hat, and an investment piece that can be as formal or casual as you desire. Its chic sharp silhouette gives a modern feel to more formal occasions.

The hat also features an inner elasticated cotton ribbon to help secure a comfortable fit.

A sustainable addition to the Suzannah London collection.

In between wearing, this hat is best stored carefully packed in tissue in its box. Pack this hat upside down with plenty of tissue paper underneath to support the brim.

Avoid leaving it out in the sun when not worn as the straw will become brittle over time. This can be avoided by giving it a light mist of water occasionally and letting it dry thoroughly before re packing.

Any straw left in the sun will either fade or become a deeper tone of gold over time. When this eventually happens it adds charm and character to a casual hat.
