Hang on to that hat!

While a head is the best place to rest a hat there are times when it’s not appropriate and that can pose a problem.

Carryinga hat in the hand, the shoppingbagor a suitcase can be awkward and often a ‘crushing’ affair but now a clever little hat clip by Klipsta has come to the rescue.

The Klipsta Hat Clip has just received recognition for outstandingdesign and innovation in the Product Design Sport and Lifestyle category ofthe 2020 Australian Good Design Awards, which annually celebrates the best new products and services on the Australian market.

The Klipsta Hat Clip was praised for beinga simple and convenient way to carry a hat, hands-free, its clever design allowingfor it to be securely fastened to a bag.

It was commended as being“A clever design solution for an existingproblem for children and adults alike.
