Find the right accessory
Once you've decided on the material and style, you can find fun accessories to complete your look.

A tip is to choose colors that match those of your outfit.
Try before you buy
Before buying your custom-made women's hat , try it on if possible. A well-fitting hat is essential if you want to wear it without pain or discomfort. Take the time to test the material and feel the weight of the hat on your head. If possible, try it with clothing similar to what you will wear with the hat.
Taking care of your hat
A well-maintained hat can last a long time and continue to look new even after years of use. To maintain the condition of your hat throughout the seasons, here are some tips:
- Always store your hat in a clean, dry place
- Do not store it near a heat source, such as a radiator or lamp
- If your hat gets wet, let it dry naturally, out of direct sunlight and never put it on a radiator
- Clean your hat with a soft cloth, dampened with lukewarm water
- Ask your hatter for advice
