These bonnets are made
with the best quality materials and are inspected for flaws
before being accepted.
|
| How the
Bonnets are Made
The bonnets are made
with high quality colorful or period correct
material cotton blends. A layer of denim or pellon
is laid between the between two additional layers
of cotton on the top and bottom (denim or pellon)
in the bonnet brim and then 'quilted' together
before being stitched to the back head piece. The
ties and the interior casing are added last.

bonnet.
The entire bonnet can be machine washed on a
gentle cycle or hand washed. The materials, being
of good quality, are pre-shrunk and fade-fast.
The bonnets are beautifully hand sewn in Wyoming
and are USA made. Something we are very proud of
here at Rawhide Gifts and Gallery!

Testimonials
...."Thank-You, Thank-You, Thank-you!!! I got
my bonnet today!
I adore it! I will be wearing it while I weave at the Destrehan
Plantation. I will also be wearing it while I
garden, maybe hunting, definitely building and
carpentry work on my husband Charlie's and my 20
acres that we have homesteaded."..........
Deb Wilson
The
bonnet arrived yesterday, it is beyond
beautiful. Ivy just couldn't believe her eyes,
she does not want to take it off! Thank you so
much, and we are so happy to be able to support
a Wyoming business.
Kindest Regards,
Jo (Evanston, Wyo)
...."Hi Madeleine,
My parents
received the sunbonnet a few days ago ; my
mother has told me it is very pretty!
I haven't seen
it yet but I'm sure it will be perfect for
my friend's bachelorette party!
Thanks for
everything, your kindness and the speedy
delivery!"....
Virginie (France)
...."I
have purchased two bonnets from two different
websites. The quality of the bonnets which I
unfortunately purchased from those websites,
cannot be compared whatsoever to the highly
quality bonnets that I have purchased from
Madeleine.
I am highly impressed and delighted with the
bonnets that I have purchased from Madeleine, a
woman who takes true pride in her work; which is
magnificent in both quality and aesthetics. I am
immensely happy with the bonnets which I have
purchased from Madeleine. I plan to get all my
bonnets from Madeleine, and from no other than
her; now and always."
Maria, from Utah
..."Hi Madeleine,
I am very pleased
with the bonnet. It is very well made. I
wanted to let you know that I won't be
purchasing bonnets from any other tailor but
you, as your work is far superior to the other
two bonnets I have received elsewhere.
I had to laugh
because I purchased this as a gift for my
friend. She told me yesterday that she had
called you and ordered a "Caroline
Ingalls" bonnet from you! So she is
getting two bonnets. She will be so excited
when she hears how happy I am with this one,
and will, I'm certain, also stick with being
your customer.
Thanks for all
your trouble and for offering period-correct
bonnets to this re-enactor-at-heart.
Blessings,
Valorie Machin..."

Western
Prairie Sunbonnets made just like the original Prairie Sun Bonnets of the 1800's

We have many women who
are seriously involved in re-enactments, involved in period
plays, or are involved with National Historical Associations all

have bonnets that follow the colors and patterns of the day as
closely as possible. However, if you have a specific request,
please
email us. We'll do our best to find a bonnet
suited to your needs.
. Order with confidence, because if you are
dissatisfied with your purchase, you may return your bonnet
(with receipt) within 14 days for an exchange or refund minus
shipping costs.
Our bonnets
are made with the best quality material and are inspected before
being accepted prior to shipping to your door.

ship by Postal Service Priority Mail within 24 hours unless we
receive the order on the weekends. Your order should arrive
within 3 days in the U.S. If we have your phone number, we will
contact you in case of unexpected delays (out of stock, the need
to exchange a bonnet etc.)
SHIPPING METHODS-
if you prefer a different
shipping method, please
email us. We will be happy to ship your bonnet by a slower
rate and refund the difference to you via paypal (if you've paid
by paypal) Shipping overages will be
refunded via paypal or credit card.
