A great "starter" Trish Raine hat, Bibi cloche has style, sensibility and practicality. She will protect you in cold, damp winter weather (basically anything winter will throw at you), although colder than -15C you might place her under a hood. She will fold up in your purse, willingly fit a ponytail of hair in her folds, and her design (many silks) will match pretty much anything you wear. She can go "running" or exercising with you; snowshoeing, x-country skiing, dog walking. She can also be the comfortable friend who accompanies you to the Saturday market and completes chores with you. She is reliable and maintains her shape for many years. Like a trusted old friend, she's got your back, providing comfort and warmth.
