Tirconaill Street, Donegal Town, Co Donegal, Ireland.
'The typical Donegal thatched cottage has a most functional design. It keeps the elements at bay, protects the household against wind and rain, provides shelter and warmth in winter. In summer, it absorbs the sunshine and provides a cooling ambience. This ensures that the cottage tweed weavers who handcraft the Hanna cloth have the perfect conditions year round for their exacting task.
In exactly the same way too, the Hanna Hat provides its owner with that special cared-for appearance that only a Hanna Hat can. After all, what other hat can look so stylish, so distinguished and so much a part of the wearer.'
