"Paname Riviera" cork hat – Unisex cork and fabric fedora
A cork fedora — the phrase is surprising, and that's exactly the effect the Paname Riviera produces when worn. The crown is entirely made of natural cork from Portugal, the brim is made of natural woven fabric with a cork trim, and a mottled fabric ribbon tied around the crown completes the silhouette. From afar, it looks like a straw panama. Up close, you discover the cork — and the conversation begins.
The Paname Riviera has the elegance of a dress hat with practical advantages that straw and felt cannot offer: it doesn't get misshapen in a suitcase, it's rain-resistant, and it doesn't retain perspiration. The summer hat that does everything a summer hat should.
Why the Riviera will become your essential item
- Cork doesn't sweat — unlike felt or cotton, cork does not absorb sweat. No rings, no odors, even in high heat.
- Waterproof — a sudden downpour on the terrace? Cork naturally repels water. The woven fabric of the brim dries in minutes.
- Non-deformable — cork keeps its shape. Unlike a straw panama that gets crushed in a suitcase, the Riviera regains its silhouette even after being slightly compressed.
- 8 sizes available — from 54 to 62, for a precise fit. No approximate one-size-fits-all: every head size finds its Riviera.
- Unisex and timeless — the fedora silhouette works just as well for men as for women, in the city as on vacation, in summer as in mid-season.
- 100% vegan — natural cork and fabric, no animal-derived materials.

Frequently asked questions
How to choose your size?
Measure your head circumference with a tape measure placed in the middle of your forehead, above your ears. The number in centimeters corresponds directly to the size. If in doubt between two sizes, take the larger size — a slightly loose hat is more comfortable than a tight one.
Doesn't cork get too hot in summer?
On the contrary. Cork is a natural insulator: it protects from the sun while keeping your head cool. Unlike felt that stifles or straw that lets UV rays through, cork offers a good compromise between protection and ventilation.
Can this hat travel in a suitcase?
Yes, with care. Cork is flexible and resistant — it regains its shape after slight compression. For suitcase travel, place it crown down, filled with a rolled-up t-shirt to maintain its shape. It recovers much better than a straw panama.
Is this hat suitable for women?
Absolutely. The fedora is a unisex classic. Sizes 54 to 56 correspond to the most common female head circumferences. Worn with a summer dress, jeans, or beachwear, the Riviera adds an immediate touch of elegance.
How to care for the Riviera?
Wipe the cork crown with a damp cloth and a neutral soap if necessary. For the fabric brim, brush gently with a dry clothes brush. Store it flat or on a hat stand, away from dust.
