Description

The beach is no excuse to blend into the background. Built for the woman who brings sharp, deliberate poise to the shoreline, the Audrey Sunshade proves that resort wear should be just as dangerous, refined, and magnetic as an evening look.

Crafted from tightly woven natural straw, this silhouette features an exaggerated, architectural crown paired with a dramatic sloped brim that casts the ultimate mystery over your profile. Banded with a heavy black ribbon and finished with a sharp, matching black edge trim, it delivers an instant graphic contrast that turns a simple swimsuit into a iconic, high-fashion statement.

Whether you're holding court on a Mediterranean deck or lounging seaside with a dark pair of sunglasses, do not simply step into the sun—command it.

The Details

  • Material: Fine, tightly woven natural straw designed for ultimate sun protection and lasting structure.

  • Silhouette: An exaggerated deep-fitting crown paired with a sloped, face-framing wide brim.

  • The Accents: A bold, wide black ribbon band with a sharp, black-bound edge for high-contrast drama.

  • The Energy: Fearless, main-character resort glamour engineered for the sand, sea, and beyond.

Care

Your Proper Icon hat is an investment piece designed to hold its architectural shape for seasons to come.

Handling Your Hat

  • Hold by the Brim: Always pick up and adjust your hat by the brim rather than pinching the crown. This preserves the crisp, geometric lines and prevents the structure from denting or softening over time.

Cleaning & Maintenance

  • Spot Clean Only: Never machine wash, dry clean, or submerge your hat in water.
  • Brushing: To remove everyday dust or lint, gently sweep the surface with a soft-bristled clothing brush.
  • Treating Spots: For small marks, use a clean, slightly damp cloth to gently dab the area. Do not rub, as this can damage the natural fibers.

Drying & Elements

  • Air Dry Naturally: If you get caught in a sudden shower, gently shake off the excess water. Allow the hat to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated space.
  • Avoid Direct Heat: Never use a hairdryer, radiator, or direct heater to dry your hat, as extreme heat can shrink wool and warp or crack woven materials.

Proper Storage

  • Protect the Brim: To maintain the pristine, flat structure of the brim, never leave your hat resting flat on a table for long periods. Instead, store it upside down resting on its crown.
  • Keep it Cool and Dry: Store your hat in a cool, dry place out of prolonged direct sunlight, which can fade classic colors and dry out natural fibers. For the best protection, keep it stored in a dedicated hat box.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know what size to order?

Most of our hats are designed as a "one size fits most" standard.

What materials are Proper Icon hats made from?


We believe true elegance starts with the textile. Our debut winter collection is crafted from premium, 100% wool felt. This dense, high-quality material ensures our hats maintain their sharp, architectural structure and provide essential warmth. As we transition into our upcoming Spring Collection, we will be introducing beautifully woven, natural straw materials designed for lighter, sun-ready wear.

Will my hat lose its shape over time?


Not with proper handling! Our hats are specifically blocked to hold their crisp, geometric lines. To keep your hat looking flawless, always handle it by the brim rather than the crown, and store it properly when not in use.

When will I get my order?

We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible, with a goal of getting all orders shipped the same day they are ordered. This time can vary depending on how many orders we receive on a given day, but we promise all orders will be shipped out within two days. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping is calculated based on your location and the items in your order. You will always know the shipping price before you purchase.

What is your return and exchange policy?


We want you to step out with unmatched confidence. If your new hat isn't the perfect fit for your wardrobe, we accept returns and exchanges within 30 days of delivery. The hat must be unworn, in its original condition, and with all tags attached. Please go to our refund policy page to get full details.
