Black Panama Fedora with Fringing

Luxury fashion is all about the details. The Black Panama Fedora with Fringing is a contemporary statement piece of designer headwear, combining sculptural design with traditional millinery craftsmanship.

Handcrafted by Melbourne milliner Felicity Northeast, this sophisticated Panama hat features a modern fedora crown with striking angular curves and a wide flat brim that gently sweeps upwards at the back. The distinctive silhouette creates a flattering profile, while  double layer of black faux leather fringing adds movement, texture and a contemporary edge.

Handwoven in Ecuador from sustainably and ethically sourced Panama straw, each hat is carefully blocked and hand-finished in Australia using traditional millinery techniques. The brim incorporates a fine wire edge to maintain its elegant shape and is turned under with a hand-sewn finish, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail behind every Felicity Northeast design.

Perfect for the Melbourne Cup Carnival, Spring Racing events, Derby Day, weddings and stylish outdoor occasions, this statement Panama adds effortless sophistication to modern racewear and occasion dressing.
