Natural straw hat Turdus merula
Handmade from rye straw, it is the result of a technique with a long and vast history in Minho, a historic province in the Northern region of Portugal. Formerly it protected almost all heads from the sun. It was also a fashion symbol and was falling into disuse. We do not want to forget traditions, much less when they made perfect sense to exist.
