Romania. Pasha of the beach’ is a straw fez with a ribbon on top. It is a whimsical hat made of rye straw which is manually woven by a joyous and talkative lady as part of a family tradition that spans generations. This fez can be fixed on the back of the head, the white and black silk ribbon being tied above the fez: visible at the very top. It can be worn on the beach for it does not interfere with ponytails or buns, it protects your thoughts from heat exhaustion, your shoulders from shadows and your person from the predictable monotony of wearing a normal hat.
