Light Straw Cartwheel & Wide Brim Hat with Floral Pattern

Big hat with straw crown and wide brim with flowers - vintage style wagon wheel hat.

The name "wagon wheel - hat" is a wide brimmed hat with a very flat crown and can be made from a variety of materials. This type of hat is worn on the side/ slant of the head. This ivory hat by Miranda's Choice captivates with its mix of materials: the crown is made of straw, the wide stable brim has been covered with cotton fabric on both the top and the bottom, and finally a narrow straw border is attached to the brim. 
The hat is fastened with long ribbons to tie at the neck or under the chin. The ribbons have a Velcro fastener so that they can be placed elsewhere in the crown or removed completely (so they can be washed, for example). 
Our large Cartwheel Hat has a diameter of approx. 39 cm, the inner diameter of the flat crown is approx. 14.5 cm with a height of 3-4 cm. Already before the First World War this hat became popular, at the end of the 30's the hat appeared in many movies. Especially in the metropolises like New York, Paris and London, it became a popular accessory for elegant ladies.
