Where elegance meets legacy.
This hand-painted Elephant Panama Hat is more than a fashion statement, it’s a tribute to the gentle giants that once roamed the Cape, echoing the spirit of Oliphants Hoek, the original name of Franschhoek.
Expertly woven from authentic Toquilla straw and finished with a soft black band, each hat features a meticulously detailed elephant illustration that appears to gently rest against the crown, its trunk gracefully extending onto the brim.
