Nothing beats the cool factor of a seriously stunning straw hat on a summer's day.  And with sunny days on our minds, here are 4 hats in classic straw which are made to turn heads. All ethically made, all natural materials, all made to last. Two for the boys, and two for the girls.

No 1: FOR HER Shade White Toquilla straw hat (aka Panama Hat) with champagne grosgrain ribbon band, from G-Viteri. Hand made in Ecuador, we love the classic shape which would go with pretty much anything a summer's day can dish up. G-Viteri work with local artisans, paying fair wages and providing safe working conditions.

No 2: FOR HIM Classic Brim Fedora made in America by Emmett Ellsion. Made from 100% Milan Hemp, with a striped grosgrain hatband and wicking sweatband, this timeless style never misses a beat.

No 3: FOR HIM Navigator Fine Llano weave is a premium model from Pachacuti. Made in fair working conditions in Ecuador, the hat is made from Carludovica Palmata fibres, grown near the coast of Ecuador, and is rollable so it is perfect for taking on holidays as the hat will bounce back into shape when rolled correctly. (Which just means rolling it cross-ways without actually bending it - easier than it sounds.) With an elegant navy blue petersham ribbon, this hat works with blue jeans as well as white linen.

No 4: FOR HER This gorgeous Garden Hat by Mar Y Sol features a band of woven flowers and an upturned brim. Made from crocheted raffia with a cotton sweatband, it has all the charm of a summer's picnic in a flowery garden. Made in fair working conditions and artisan made in Madagascar, it is available from the curated selection of The Little Market (who specialise in ethically sourced and fairly made goods).

As the "mother" half of the Future King & Queen mother-daughter duo, Virginia is a Melbourne based designer who firmly believes that living kindly is a series of daily choices that we can each make in order to touch the earth more lightly. At the age of 11, she wrote a passionate English essay about the practice of animal testing in the cosmetics industry, as part of a school assignment - and as an adult, has strived to encourage her 3 children to become compassionate, thinking young adults who care for both others around them and the world in which they live.

Virginia has been vegan for more than 2 years, after attending a talk by Phillip Wollen (OAM) when all the lightbulbs suddenly went on! Here was a way to live that touched the earth more lightly, didn't involve harm to animals, and opened the door to a much more healthy lifestyle.
