Солом’яні та літні капелюхи Fedora, Gambler і Boater RB

Дизайнерські солом'яні капелюхи від Ruslan Baginskiy

The straw hat collection by Ruslan Baginskiy presents a refined approach to designer summer hats, where traditional materials meet contemporary silhouettes. Created by a Ukrainian designer and recipient of the ANDAM Award 2023, these pieces position straw hats as part of modern high-end accessories rather than seasonal essentials.
This collection brings together structured forms, natural materials, and precise craftsmanship, offering a considered selection of summer accessories for both city and resort settings.

Silhouettes

The collection includes key hat silhouettes that define contemporary designer summer hats, each with a distinct structure and purpose.

Fedora features a structured crown with a defined crease and medium to wide brim, balancing classic proportions with modern styling.
Gambler is recognized by its flat crown and curved brim, offering a more relaxed yet architectural silhouette.
Boater (Canotier) is defined by a flat top and straight brim, creating a sharp, geometric look often associated with summer events.

Each silhouette is designed to function as both a fashion object and a straw sun hat, providing shape and sun protection.

Materials & Craft

Every designer straw hat in the collection is constructed using carefully selected natural materials. Options include natural straw, raffia, and sisal, each chosen for its structure, flexibility, and texture.

These materials are shaped into a woven hat through controlled techniques that ensure durability and clarity of form. The weaving density varies, creating graphic patterns ranging from diamond-shaped to checkered and multi-colored compositions.

Each piece is developed as an artisan hat, where hand-finishing defines the final proportions, edges, and detailing. This approach positions the collection within premium headwear, focusing on construction rather than decorative.

HatBag: Functional Design Concept

A distinctive part of the collection is the patented HatBag, a hybrid object that combines a hat and a bag in a single form. This design reflects the brand’s approach to innovation within traditional hat-making.

In the spring-summer season, the straw HatBag appears in updated colors, combining the recognizable silhouette with new textures. As a functional accessory, it moves between categories, working both as a resort hat and as a practical everyday object.

The HatBag is globally patented as a unique design, reinforcing its role as a key concept within the brand’s universe.

When to Wear

Straw hats in this collection are designed for a range of summer occasions, from urban environments to travel settings. They function as part of resort wear while remaining adaptable to everyday styling.

A straw sun hat complements a beach outfit or a relaxed vacation style, while structured silhouettes integrate into a more tailored summer wardrobe. These hats naturally fit into a poolside look, as well as cultural events, outdoor gatherings, and warm-weather city routines.

Rather than being seasonal, these pieces act as versatile summer accessories with both functional and aesthetic value.
