let's go boating!

we at SALMAGUNDI are tired of that same old Boater we see offered in the world today...
Men in the 1930's had Boaters with all sorts of Fancy Trims, what happened?
FEAR NOT! We've got you covered, and we are declaring this YEAR OF THE BOATER!
Meet the Lyman: available in natural Panama
we turned up the heat on Classic Navy & Red Stripe Trim here
to give you something that packs more punch!
Be the Life of the Party and the Envy of All Your Friends!
Meet Skiff; Seagrass Boater shown here with Corn Cob Stripe Trim
Skiff again in Seagrass on the left in Kabob Stripe Trim in Browns
Launch on the right in Bleach Panama with Pool Stripe Trim in Blues
and last, but not least...Skiff in Seagrass with Sangria Stripe Trim
our Boaters are made here in Massachusetts!
we went for a softer feel than your average Boater, while maintaining that taught look
Vom Bauer Sweats for comfort, available from sizes Small to Extra Large

the Lady herself...
we are so pleased to feature works made from this gals hands
this Season she has Hypnotized Feathers into Whirling Splendor,
Rumpled Parasisol into Billows, and Adorned Sinamay Regal
take a peek at a few of our favorites...
Hot Pink Parasisol Wide Brim Lavished in Feathers is a statement piece to say the least
close up on the Dyed and Curled Peacock Trim:
a Sweetheart in Dotted Sinamay, Ostrich, Peacock, Flowers, and Quills...
an Azalea colored Parasisol Beauty with the grace of a Prima Ballerina:
wear it on a tilt and flowers peek out from the underbrim to frame your face
Indigo has never looked so striking!
a Smaller Platter style in Sinamay with Self Loops and Dyed Peacock
that plays the balance of Salty Sweet
although I hardly know her yet,  I'd say that Conney is no joke
she seems profoundly thoughtful by way of the movement in her designs
not to mention painstakingly thorough by means of the intent in her handiwork
please stop in to peruse these pieces, more to arrive this week
