Part of the Mint Collection, a collection of three cosy and beautiful hats by Anna Elliott. Inspired by various mints, each one has its own unique style and features. Buy all three Mint Collection patterns (Kendal, After Eight and Pepper) together at a discounted price.

Add a touch of sparkle to your winter wardrobe with this delightful hat. Eye-catching beads twinkle from the figure of eight lace pattern as it dances towards the beautifully shaped crown. This hat comes in two sizes and is designed to be close fitting so you can channel your inner disco-dancing queen. If you prefer your hat to be slightly slouchier you can easily add an extra lace repeat.

Pair subtle beads with a pared-back neutral for a stylish look or opt for bright and bold combinations to brighten up those dreary winter days.
