grand athena sisal
Our Athena hat comes in two sizes, small and large. The Grand Athena, shown here, is the more dramatic of the two: a lovely saucer style or disk shape, with a gently raised centre, curving gracefully down to the edge of the brim. The main "disc" is attached to a small and discreet crown, largely hidden beneath the brim, enabling it to fit comfortably and securely on your head. The profile is sharp and chic, and, worn at a slight tilt, will add elevation to your features.
Together with the Petit Athena, these are our most popular styles for weddings and ceremonies this season. Please see the colour options attached to the photos.
It is easier to get someone to take your head measurement than to do it yourself. However, this is how it is done.
Take a tape measure and place one end in the centre of your forehead at around the level where you would like your hat to sit, usually between one and two centimetres above the eye brows. Pass it around your head and back to the middle of your forehead. If there are any bumps make sure these are included.
This should read between 55 and 59 centimetres for most women, and between 56 and 62 centimetres for most men. Add a half centimetre to the reading unless you want the hat to be very tight.
Remember, if it is too tight it may leave a red mark on your forehead.
