The Alexis Boater is crafted from a smooth pink tie-dye straw with a strong white braid band and folded edge that is finished with a hand-sewn braid underneath. This style is made to a head fit and is secured to the head with an elastic and a comb at the centre back.
Designed as part of the Above the Clouds collection, this headpiece was created with race days in mind but transitions beautifully to weddings, garden parties, and special events.
Each piece is handcrafted by Lauren J Ritchie in her studio within the historic Manchester Unity Building on Melbourne’s prestigious Collins Street. With worldwide shipping available, these signature designs bring a touch of Melbourne sophistication to every corner of the globe.
