Dream Hat
I was doubting this hat before I bought it because of some of the other reviews, but it is actually AMAZING! I got the 18cm brim and it is massive - think car tire. It arrived with 4 corners bent, but I’m not sure why everyone had trouble fixing this. I immediately, upon the hat’s arrival, took a spray bottle filled with water and sprayed the whole brim area of the hat on both sides - top and bottom - just until it was slightly moist to the touch. I then laid it on our washing machine flat with 4 textbooks on top of each bend in the brim. After about an hour and a half (maybe 2?), the hat dried completely and the bends were completely gone. Not even a crease was left. I placed the books back on for another few hours to be sure, and as of the next day it is PERFECT! The hat is stiff enough to keep its shape, but flexible enough that it will bend when laid down on an uneven surface. Love this hat and I’m buying all the other sizes now! I would love to paint some of these, in fact, and probably will! SIDE NOTE: I did find the huge size of the 18cm hat to be too much to tie at a side tilt, so it will simply be worn full on my head or to the back a bit. The smaller ones will probably be perfect for wearing at an angle as all the chic boater hat wearers do in their Sunday best, but not this one as it bends away from the head when worn sideways.

Picture Perfect
I loved the picture of the Hat planned on wearing it to our Annual Mother’s Day Tea Party. I was excited about my order. When received totally bent and tore in 3 places..tried straightening and glueing to no avail.I did not want to return it.. I ended up getting frustrated and throwing it in the trash … but I give the picture as advertised 10 points! I really wanted to wear the hat!

Really cute casual hat
Really cute inexpensive bergere/boater hybrid style hat. Bought the 13 in brim, love the size, not too big not too small. The ribbon is nice and holds ties well. Had to steam iron the brim flat after shipping to get it flat which is to be expected. It was very easy to do. Wish the crown was a little shallower but it’s fine. There is no sweat band inside the hat, I will have to add one on my own.All in all I love it. It’s a great starter hat that won’t break my heart if I crush it, get it dirty in the garden or lose it to the wind. I feel very cute and I get a lot of looks when I wear it on walks. Plus a little sun protection, yay!

Attractive wide-brimmed, straw hat!
My wide-brimmed hat, which I ordered with the 12 cm brim (almost 5 inches) and the black ribbon in January 2025, arrived perfectly intact and flat inside a protective, plastic bubble! Amazingly, after a long journey from China, my hat made it to me safe and sound.The pictures show the hat just as it appeared after I removed it from its protective, plastic bubble and placed it on my head. After the first photo, I folded the ribbon in half to make it look thinner because I wanted the crown to appear shallower.I measured the 12 cm brim hat and found its total diameter to be 17.5 inches, with a 7.5 inch diameter crown and 5 inch brim. The height of the crown is 2 inches. My head circumference is 22 inches, and the hat easily perches upon my head.I was seeking an inexpensive straw hat for my 18th Century Georgian Era outfit, and this straw hat will do quite well. I wish the company would make some straw hats with smaller crowns (6 inches wide) that only project upwards 1 inch, rather than 2 inches, because that would look more like the bergere straw hats popular in the late 1700s, but I am pleased with my new straw hat. I appreciate that the company must have looked at complaints about hats arriving crumpled and found a way to ship the hats in plastic bubbles so that they would arrive flat...no need to spray the hat with water mist and flatten under books!I chose the 12 cm brim hat because I wanted the hat to hold its shape rather than be floppy...and it is holding its shape just fine. I feel it is a cute and attractive hat! I am glad I purchased it....and I am thankful that people halfway around the world took their time and effort to weave, stitch, and mail the straw hat so that I can wear it.

Well-made, but ....
I ordered. When it arrived, it was the wrong brim size.Well made and attractive, though. But not what I wanted.Re-ordered.It arrived -- still wrong brim size.I was given a prompt refund, so I can't complain there, but I really needed a wide brimmed hat,Oh well.So, great customer service, but either they don't actually make the wider brim sizes, or they can't figure out which are which.

Great hat!
I’ve been looking for a hat like this for a while and this one seemed pretty affordable. Shipping took a bit from China and once it arrived, it was folded and creased from the packaging. However, a quick steamed ironing remedied this and looks great! The ribbon color is just as expected. I’m excited to use this for my gardening season and day dream I’m in a ghibli film. ❤️

Came bent
The hat came almost completely unusable. Luckily I have the tools to fix it, but other people might not have the equipment. Buying a hat and then having to do a ton of damage control reshaping the entire hat, when shipping it properly could have avoided the issue, is absolutely ridiculous.It came in a flimsy plastic mailer that was way too small for the hat. A box would have been much better. I don’t understand how on earth the decision was made to shove a fragile hat into a small plastic mailer.The hat itself seems to be well made. The straw is nice, and besides the fact that it is bent beyond recognition as a hat, there are no rips or breaks.Overall, it could be a cute hat if it wasn’t almost ruined in transit. Super disappointed in this purchase.

False Advertisement & Atrocious Packaging
Huge disappointment.. Placed in a small package and it's bent out of shape. Also, a TOTAL RIP OFF. It's soo cheap looking and looks nothing like the product. DO NOT BUY
