Details & care

Sun protection plus grand retro glamour—what a way to keep your cool. Canvas trims the wide, woven brim, while slender straps tie in back for a fully adjustable fit.

Helen Kaminski raffia has a natural resin that can bring your piece back to shape by using a little steam.
1. Stuff with plain acid-free tissue paper to support original shape
2. Use a domestic iron on the steam setting or a traditional clothes steamer. Steam the outer and inner sections until warm and slightly moist to touch. Make sure the iron plate is about four inches away
3. Reform to the desired shape with your hands
4. Allow to cool and dry naturally in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight

Helen Kaminski

In 1983, Helen Marie Kaminski handcrafted a raffia hat to protect her children from the searing Australian sun. One year later, a Vogue editor discovered her first design, the Classic 5. And the rest is history. Decades have passed, and Helen's effortless signature style has evolved into a leading global brand recognized for beautiful, modern accessories that inspire confidence, reflect individual style and are made to last.

My 3rd Raffia Visor

This is my 3rd "Mita" visor. I love them. I live in San Diego where we have lot's of sun, consequently I do not leave home without it. It covers well, yet doesn't mash down your hair like hats do. As mentioned it packs very well, keeping it's shape nicely after being compressed in a bag. With everyday use it remains atractive even with being touched often with sunscreen on my hands! Do not pass this visor up.

Good idea, but not accurate productdescription

Product description says that it's packable but after packing mine for a 30 min trip, it put a big crease in the bill that I'm unable to get out. For $150 it's pretty disappointing.

Not completely what I expected

I love Helen Kaminski hats, but the item description doesn't tell you that the elastic of the visor goes around the whole visor - meaning, even when you untie the ribbon, there is an elastic band that keeps the hat connected. While this might be beneficial during strong winds on the beach, it's not what I wanted for my hair. Will be returning.

Love this Visor. but........__

This is a lovely oversized Helen Kaminski straw visor but it was way too tight on my head and there is no way to adjust it to make it larger. Unfortunately. I had to return it.

Great coverage

I purchased this for my mom who does not like to crush her hair with hats. She is a fair complected redhead and needs sun protection. This visor was perfect. It shades her cheeks as well as her nose without crushing her hair, while being classy. She loved it.
