How to Store Your Hats

Proper hat storage ensures your favorite accessories stay stylish and in great condition. Here’s how to care for every type of hat, from classic straw hats to customized VARY hats with charms.

 

1. Clean Before Storing

• Straw Hats: Wipe with a damp cloth or soft brush.

• Wool Hats: Use a lint brush.

• Decorated Hats: Clean gently, avoiding embellishments.

 

2. Choose the Right Location

• Avoid Sunlight: Prevents fading and material weakening.

• Cool & Dry: Protects against mold and warping.

• Ventilated: Use breathable materials, not plastic bags.

 

3. Support Their Shape

• Use hat forms, foam inserts, or acid-free tissue paper.

• Avoid stacking items on top of hats.

 

4. Protect from Dust & Damage

• Hat Boxes: Choose slightly larger boxes to prevent crushing.

• Cloth Bags: Allow airflow and keep dust off.

• Shelves: Ensure they’re clean and wide enough.

 

5. Travel Smart

• Hat Boxes: Provide maximum protection.

• Packing Tip: Stuff the crown with soft items to hold its shape.

 

6. Special Care for Decorated Hats

• Wrap charms in soft fabric to avoid scratches.

• Store decorated hats individually to prevent snags.

 

7. Check Regularly

• Inspect for moisture, pests, or deformations.

• Rotate hats to avoid prolonged pressure on one area.
