Wide-brimmed hat
Whether made of woven straw, cotton, or linen, a wide-brimmed hat becomes essential in the face of high temperatures. The shade created by its wide brim protects the skin from harmful UV rays, preventing unwanted sunburn on the face, neck, and shoulders. Its wide brim creates a natural barrier against excessive heat, allowing you to fully enjoy sunny days without being bothered.
Whether you're lounging on the beach, strolling through a bustling market, or attending an outdoor party, it provides essential protection while adding a touch of style. In addition to its functional benefits, the wide-brimmed hat embodies the spirit of summer, evoking images of vacation, adventure, and relaxation.

Linen, a natural material with a lightweight and breathable texture, becomes a refreshing ally on summer days. It absorbs moisture and allows air to circulate freely.

The visor
For those who prefer a lighter option, the visor is the perfect accessory. With its clever design, it provides essential protection while still allowing fresh air to circulate around your face. Its wide brim protects against the sun's harsh rays, preventing annoying sunburn. It protects your face from the sun while still allowing your head to breathe. Not having a brim at the back of your head also means you won't be bothered when you're leaning back on a deckchair to read a book, for example!
What makes the visor even more appealing is its casual, sporty style. It allows you to achieve a look that's both casual chic and streetwear-inspired.
