Boater Hats

Flat crown, straight brim, and a heritage rooted in the golden age of British summer... The collection of boater hats reimagines this iconic shape with the artisan craft and contemporary detail that defines Merve Bayindir Millinery. Each boater carries a sense of occasion, whether worn at a regatta, a summer wedding, or a sun-drenched afternoon in the city.

Every boater hat is handcrafted in our London atelier using traditional millinery techniques, shaped on wooden blocks and finished with custom-created trims entirely by hand. From classic straw boater hats to modern interpretations with refined embellishments, each piece is crafted from the finest quality materials. Designed and hand-made in the United Kingdom by Merve Bayindir Millinery, our boater hat collection brings one of millinery's most recognisable silhouettes to life with couture-level craftsmanship.
