During your holiday, don't think about folding your hat into your suitcase! The straw could split like glass.
The best way is to lay it flat in your suitcase, filling the crown with underwear, for example, so that it doesn't lose its shape. Then place your clothes around your hat to secure it well. Remember to place it at the top of your suitcase to prevent clothes from crushing it when the suitcase is lifted. On the other hand, if you don't have much space in your suitcase and need a hat that can be folded, we offer our model «Samy».
You may hear talk of a type of Panama hat so flexible that it can be passed through a wedding ring. We advise you to be very careful as this praise is often given to you in countries with high air humidity, like Ecuador, but in our countries where the air is much drier, you could break the straw. Therefore, think about slightly dampening your hat from time to time to keep it supple.
Be careful not to let your hat «bake» in your car, the straw would turn like glass. At the first pressure of your hand on the crown, it would crack. Also, remember that behind glass, straw, like clothes, fades quickly.
