Hat Care

Handle with Care: When handling your hat or headpiece, always use gentle hands to avoid crushing or distorting the shape. Hold it by the base or brim rather than by delicate embellishments or decorations.

Store Properly: Store your hat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Avoid stacking hats on top of each other, as this can cause misshaping. Consider using a hat box or a sturdy container with ample space to protect it from dust and debris.

Avoid Water: Keep your hat or headpiece dry to prevent damage to delicate materials such as feathers, flowers, and fabrics. If your hat does get wet (and this should be avoided!), allow it to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources, and reshape it gently if necessary. DO NOT WEAR YOUR HEAD PIECE IN THE RAIN.

Clean with Care: For minor stains or spots, gently spot clean your hat using a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the materials. If your hat requires more thorough cleaning, consult a professional milliner for expert care.

Handle Hair Products with Caution: Avoid spraying hairspray, perfume, or other hair products directly onto your hat or headpiece, as they may cause discoloration or damage to the materials. Instead, apply hair products before putting on your hat and allow them to dry completely.

Handle Makeup Carefully: Be cautious when wearing makeup with your hat, as makeup stains can be difficult to remove from delicate fabrics and materials. If makeup transfer occurs, gently blot the area with a clean, damp cloth as soon as possible.

Protect from Pests: Store your hat in a sealed container or hat box to protect it from potential damage caused by pests such as moths and insects. Consider using natural moth repellents such as cedar balls or lavender sachets to deter pests.

Consult a Professional: If your hat requires repairs, reshaping, or professional cleaning, seek assistance from a skilled milliner who specializes in hat care. They can provide expert advice and services to ensure your hat looks its best for years to come.
