Fantastiskt snygg och bra hatt

Jag har burit många hattar genom åren för att skydda mig mot solen. Ingen har varit så snygg och bra som Ker Sun La Rochelle! Den skyddar bra, sitter kvar när det blåser (tack vare praktiskt hakband) och är SÅ snygg! Jag har fått flera berömmande kommentarer från personer jag mött ute på stan. Roligt att kunna ha skydd och vara snygg på samma gång. Tack Ker Sun!

Hej,

Tusen tack för dina varma ord – vi blev verkligen glada att läsa din recension ! Det är fantastiskt att höra att solhatten La Rochelle är den bästa du burit – både vad gäller stil och skydd. Vi har lagt mycket omtanke i detaljer som hakbandet, just för att hatten ska vara praktisk även vid blåst.

Och vilken glädje att höra att du fått komplimanger – det är precis vad vi önskar : att man ska känna sig både trygg och snygg i våra plagg.

Tack för din förtroende och soliga hälsningar från oss på Ker Sun !
