Why You can not find linen baby bonnets in shop easily
As of its quality and characteristics, linen is more expensive fibre and finished linen clothes and accessories have usually higher prices. Fast fashion shops are usually focusing on more cheaper materials with pricing that will please the crowds. No surprise then, We find a linen garments in a standard fashion shops very rarely. The place where You can look for it are small local shops that support slow fashion brands. And, of course easily online using Google search or on platforms as Etsy or SAShe.sk.
We create fairytale linen baby bonnets inspired by cute animals and magic stories
Our linen bonnets have cute design inspired by little animals from fairy tales. We have designed various playful styles as the design of a Fox, Bunny, Mouse, Mole or Ladybird. They all have cute ears that work very well with little children's smiles. Each linen bonnet from our studio is made of premium european softened linen in colours that can be matched with various styles and clothes. It is sewn with love and focus on precision. Our basic designs as Fox, Bunny, Mole or Grey Mouse might be worn by both, gilrs and also boys.
Our linen bonnets are made of 2 layers of linen and they can ve worn during the whole year. From my personal experience: My daughter have worn it since her birth. Now, she is about 3 years old. During hot sunny day, rainy says and also during snowing. She wears it untill the temperature falls below zero – then we combine it with wearing the capuche of her jacket. We replace it just when it somes to deep freezing. And as You might have noticed, lower winter temperatures have become very rare in Central Europe, we simply wear it whole year.
How to choose the baby bonnet
Before You finally select linen hat for your child, measure her or his head's circuit. Place your measuring tape just above the ears. Then, choose according to measured length most closer size. Keep in mind, that even the hat is made in a standard size, baby heads have different shapes so it might be little bit loose on sides or above the forehead. You can always adjust it by tying the strings. If you wish to wear hat for a longer time, consider choosing a bigger size. Head of a child grows quickly during the first months and then after since 1 year it slows down sizes for toddlers can be worn for about or more then one year. We provide sizing from the birth until 3 years. Circuit of the head becomes stable at 3 years and it do not change significantly In following years, so the size of 3 years might be worn by children about to 6 years.

Disadvantages
- Higher price as i tis handmade and made of more expensive linen
- Some children might protest during the tying under the chin. My advice is to make them used on tying by weating only hats with strings since they are born.
- One size is for limited time, so after child grows up you will need a bigger size.
- Style with ruffles for romantic moments and hot sunny daysWhen You need protect little face and eyes from direct sun, baby bonnet with ruffle can help you. It combines the comfort of linen baby bonnet with wide ruffle above the forehead that helps to prevent eyes of little daughter from direct sun. It has beautiful romantic and vintage look that You can match with little sweaters, curduroy pants or linen shirts, dress and skirts.
- If You will decide for our linen bonnet with ruffle, I recommend You to take the size of bonnet that corresponds to measured ciscuit of head. Ruffle gives more space to bonnet in its front so it makes it slightly bigger.
How to take care of our linen baby bonnet
You can wash linen baby bonnet at maximum temperature of 40 degrees or wash it in hands. I do not recemmend using the drier as it might shrink and drying under the direct sun. You can iron linen clothes with higher temperatures. Iron it when the cloth is still damp or using steam iron.
