Our Story
BRONTE WOODS is a luxury, owner-managed & designed hat and accessories brand based in Dubai, UAE. Specialising in handcrafted Panama straw hats, wool felt hats and accessories.
Created by Val, an Australian, Dubai based Designer and Hat Maker.
Driven by a lifetime of creative passion for hats and accessories. Val received her first hat from her father as a young teen, a hat which she still holds dear. This is where the lifetime hat passion began.
Val has gone on a journey to pursue learning hat making & design, in Italy.
The BRONTE WOODS launch collection was inspired by the great outdoors, travel, favourite pastimes and my new home in the desert.
Our collection offers a fresh and cool take on the iconic Panama hat, designed to effortlessly transition from the great outdoors to evening events.
Our aim is to work with luscious, quality, natural and eco conscious materials, wherever possible.
We hope you enjoy owning a luxurious BRONTE WOODS hat or accessory.
With gratitude,
Val Bronte Woods
