The Gigi is a soft floppy sun hat with a crushed look, which can be manipulated to be either fashionable, dressy or flattering. This non-colourfast style is made to fade like your favourite jeans and features a 40 mm matching colour ribbon around the crown for an elegant finish. The wide brim offers excellent sun protection.
In 1993 a couple of Chinese fellas decided to celebrate their lack of significant others; an anti-Valentine's Day, if you will. They picked 11/11 because of all the 1s - clever, but also sort of heartbreaking.
