What a beautiful craft……..and being someone who does lots of needlework, knitting and etc……….I would love for someone to teach me how to do that. Then I could have all the wide brim straw hats in red and pink to my hearts content…….Thank You Hat Queen, that was a wonderful article and video.
I wanted to see someone try it on at the end. So interesting! It reminded me a little of knitting and crochet work. I wonder if that skill is really gone –
A look back to the now almost lost art of entirely handmade straw hats. Enjoy!

Thank you HatQueen for this fascinating video.

A beautiful film. As is the case with many handicrafts, the artisans probably could not afford to own or wear their own work.

What a fabulous video! Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
Absolutely fascinating. Do the women in the Italian village continue that craft?
