Since Pétronille Cantecor designed the first straw hat in 1796, it has become a popular fashion accessory. Napoleon III’s promotion of tourism and leisure activities in the mid-19th century popularized the straw hat, and it remained in fashion through the 20th century, worn by singers and performers. Even today, the straw hat remains a trendy accessory during the summer months.
