TSARAVA reveals raffia at its most expansive. A straight crown steadies the silhouette, an almost horizontal brim extends the shade, and an openwork band lets light pass through the material near the edge. The hat makes its presence felt without heaviness, through precise proportions alone.
A straight crown to hold the line
TSARAVA begins with straight-sided crown walls. Its dense construction stabilises the silhouette and gives the hat a firm foundation before the brim opens.
Head circumference, height and tension must remain consistent from one round to the next. Even a small variation would affect the broad surface that follows.
The almost horizontal brim
At the transition, increases open the material into a wide brim that extends almost horizontally. This geometry lengthens the shade and gives the hat a generous, clearly defined line.
Its breadth comes from the construction itself, round after round, all the way to the edge.
A band of air and light
Near the edge, an openwork band interrupts the density. Its openings let light through and give the wide brim a lighter rhythm.
The pattern calls for consistent spacing. Across such a visible surface, any irregularity would change both the design and the structure of the edge.
Generous proportions founded on balance
TSARAVA casts a broad shadow around the face and follows the body’s movement. Its strength comes from the balance between the breadth of the brim, the line of the crown and the lightness of the openwork.
The hat finds its balance without added ornament. Raffia, light and the precision of the gesture are enough.
