Storing Your Garden Party Hats

It seems like a person can never have enough storage. In addition to needing space to stack your items, it is imperative that they be packed properly to avoid damage. At HATagories, we understand your plight and have come to the rescue with our handy tips and versatile products, such as packable sun hats.

Prior to storage, have your fashion hats professionally cleaned by a company trained in caring for delicate accessories. This will prevent mold and other bacteria from developing on the fabric. Over time, these elements can actually deteriorate the fibers of your event or garden party hats, destroying them.

A hatbox is the optimal place to put your favorite chapeau. Although plastic may seem like a better option, it retains moisture, and may promote mildew growth, creating a musty smell. Mothballs are a thing of the past, and should be avoided.

Finally, carefully stuff the crown of your hat with light tissue paper. If available, wrap the entire piece from brim to brim in plain muslin cloth. An excellent alternative to this is a washed, cotton pillowcase, preferably one that has not been used before.

Perfectly Packable Sun Hats

Packable Sun Hats

Preparing your luggage can be the downside to any vacation. Now, with the creative line of products from HATagories, you can pack your favorite accessories and Helen Kaminski hat like an expert.

A day at the beach wouldn't be complete without a good book, trendy sunglasses, and a fun, flirty outfit. Our packable sun hats are the perfect solution for any traveler headed for bright climates. Casual and classy, they conveniently fold down into a compact shape to securely place in your luggage. Visors are also a popular product for sunny weather, and our selection is extensive.

Helen Kaminski Hat Care

Fashion and durability don't always work hand-in-hand. For the best of both worlds, our insightful staff suggests you consider a natural straw Helen Kaminski hat for your next soiree or trip. Straw is not only flexible; it's incredibly strong and maintains a beautiful wheat color that doesn't fade. Caring for this type of material is also quite easy, making it a popular choice amongst our busy clientele.

Re-shaping straw garden party hats can be quickly done by immersing them in cold salt water. After letting it soak through, remove your hat to stretch and mold it while still wet. Place on a clean, terry towel, and allow it to thoroughly air dry overnight. A smooth shot of hairspray over the straw will eliminate a dull appearance and restore shine.

Our pleasant staff is knowledgeable in all areas of hat care and maintenance, and will be happy to assist you with your questions and concerns. For more information, please contact our office to speak with a representative.
