The Axel Mano Cuenca Hat is iconic.  With a chic and stylish silhouette that takes its inspiration from the 50's and 60's, in finely woven buntal straw.  Incredibly light, it suits just about everyone, and just about any situation.

As one owner of two Cuencas told us, "It's the only hat I can wear to a barbeque, and also to Ascot!"

Handmade in Australia in finely woven buntal straw, with a brim length of 11-12cm from the crown for effortless sun protection.

Available in classic black ribbon, or to order with your choice of colour ribbon - please note your request in the comment field, and allow a week for custom colour orders.   We will contact you to confirm the colour and width of ribbon and bow.

'Axel Mano' is the design partnership of Susie Meekin & Graham Clarke who apply the same philosophy when designing bags as they do hats, using simple materials in an inventive yet practical way, whilst at the same time reflecting the mood of the season. Susie comes from a design background and studied millinery in London before returning to Australia to open the 'Axel Mano' store in Woollahra, Sydney, with Graham, an artist and designer, in 1999. 

Every piece is handmade in Australia.
