STRAW AND FELT PAMELAS, ALL IN ONE!

If you're looking for natural straw pamelas for beach outings or city enjoyment, we have them. If you desire a felt pamela for the most elegant evenings in winter, we have those too. Looking for a straw and felt pamela? Of course, you'll find that here as well!

This product that we offer you here is one of the ones we are most excited about. It is a unique millinery creation that merges two vastly different materials in a completely harmonious way, with a stunning style that will capture everyone's attention.

As you can see, in all cases, the pamela's brims are made of braided straw, while the crown is made of felt. Choose the style of brim or crown you like most or the color combination that pleases you the most (white, black, yellow, red, brown, grey... There's a lot of variety!).

WHAT IS NATURAL STRAW?

Natural straw refers to the dry stem of certain gramineous plants, particularly cereals like wheat, oats, or rye, among others. Straw is obtained once the grain has been separated through threshing.

Traditionally, straw was collected after threshing in a closed area called a 'threshing floor'. It was preserved to feed animals by storing it in bales or bundles within barns, sheds, or, in more recent times, silos.

Throughout much of history, straw has been one of the most important materials for humans. Not only did it serve to feed the animals that ensured their sustenance, but it was also used to make all sorts of things: roofs, floor insulation, baskets, paper, chairs, hats (of course!) and much more. It has also been a source of fuel.

Although the Industrial Revolution displaced the draft animals, thereby reducing the need for so much straw, it is still used as a material in the manufacturing of furniture, ornaments, and accessories.

WHAT IS FELT?

Felt is a non-woven textile material (TNT) in sheet form that is not created by the interlacing of warp and weft but through the compaction using steam and pressure of layers of animal fur (usually wool) and/or a similar synthetic material.

Felt is highly valued in sewing because of its lightness and flexibility, reasons why it is often used in skirts, jackets, carpets, and, of course, hats and pamelas. For these purposes, it is usually mounted on a lining to provide some structure.

Humans began using felt before woven clothing. It is unclear how this discovery came about, but it is speculated that the idea of this material came from prehistoric men noticing that animals, when rubbing against trees, left matted and tangled hair behind.

In any case, it is known that the first to use this fabric were the nomadic tribes of Central Asia, Russia, and Turkey. They used it not only for clothing but also for building their huts, as felt is very lightweight, insulating, and resistant to water and wind.
