Raffia Straw
Belfry Italia
Raffia straw hats are made from strands harvested and processed of the raffia palm, this straw type is another favorite for its durability and packability. It boasts thicker fibers than its Panama counterpart, and is often the straw we opt for when designing the super crushable and packable crocheted straw hats like our Belfry Corrado that boasts a crocheted raffia crown and toyo brim. Naturally resistant to water (but not fully waterproof, mind you!), raffia straw is a fine choice if you're headed to the beach to enjoy some sun and the sand--and look pretty sharp doing so.
