THIS IS YOUR PLACE TO BUY MINI HATS

What exactly is a mini hat? It’s quite simple: it’s a very small-sized hat. We're not talking about children's hats, but hats that would even be too small for them.

But if they're so small that not even a child can wear them, what are they for? Mini hats are usually worn with costumes as an accessory. By adding an elastic band, they can be easily placed on the head and secured under the chin. If equipped with a clip or brooch, they can also serve as a fascinator. Lastly, mini hats for crafts are also highly sought after.

Here you will find mini hats in multiple colors (black, white, blue, red...) and with varied designs, all of them made with top-quality materials, such as our sinamay mini hats, one of our top products.

In case you weren’t familiar with it, sinamay fabric is a material of Filipino origin whose fibers are extracted from two plants: henequen (native to Mexico) and abacá (native to the Philippines). Sinamay hats are known for their light and translucent appearance, but they can be quite durable, like the ones we have here. Forget about those sinamay hats made with flimsy fabric that tears or deteriorates easily. We only carry the best.

Trust in our wide range of mini hats available at Artipistilos, we have no doubt that you will find what you are looking for.

WHAT IS A HAT? WHAT TYPES OF HATS ARE THERE?

Hats are accessories that serve to block out sunlight and keep the head cool or warm depending on the materials from which they are made. Used for centuries by both the common folk and the upper classes (the latter as an item of prestige), there is an enormous variety of hat types adapted to the social standards of each era and the specific needs of each season.

Although there are many different types of hats, most of them have the following components:

• The crown is the upper part of the hat that is placed on the head. In fact, its rounded shape is designed to fit well on it.
• The brim is the surface that runs around the circumference of the crown at its base and protects the wearer’s face from the sun’s rays.
• The soft band is inside the crown and is usually made of soft materials that come into contact with the wearer's head. Its function is to adjust the hat to the head and absorb sweat.

The size and shape of the aforementioned elements can vary greatly, giving rise to different varieties of hats. In our online store, you will find, for example, Panama hats, bowler hats, fedora hats, cowboy hats, boater hats, top hats or toppers... The list goes on!
