Ernest

Ernest straw hat: a friendly accessory for your events

The Ernest hat combines a straw design with a printed hatband that gives each version its own identity. It can be used for in-store activities, wine-related events, tastings or welcoming visitors to a winery. For wine merchants, delicatessens and food businesses, it also provides an original gift idea that can be offered individually or paired with a selection inspired by wine and aperitif occasions.

The messages make it easy to create clearly identifiable themes. “Aperitif is life!” and “Sorry, I’ve got drinks” are ideal for campaigns centred around sociable occasions. The “France” and “BZH Brittany” versions can complement a regional or tourist-focused range, while holiday-themed messages fit naturally into a summer selection. Blue, beige, black, orange and white hatbands allow you to coordinate the hat with the atmosphere or visual theme you wish to create.

Choosing the right Ernest hat for your campaign

When creating your selection, consider how the hats will be distributed and who will receive them. A humorous message works well for an in-store promotion or an informal gift. A regional design can be offered in a souvenir shop or at a local event. Aperitif-themed versions are particularly suited to wine merchants, wine bars and tasting organisers looking to reinforce the friendly, sociable atmosphere of their campaign.

You can organise your selection around several specific uses:

• enhancing a trade show, tasting session or wine-related event;
• complementing a gift range inspired by wine and aperitif occasions;
• highlighting a French or regional identity;
• equipping a team during a promotional campaign;
• offering customers or employees a custom accessory.

Customising the Ernest hat with your brand identity

The custom Ernest hat allows you to adapt the hatband to your brand, event or specific campaign. It can help make your team easily identifiable, extend the visual identity of an exhibition stand or create a branded gift. Before selecting your design, define the message, colours and intended use to ensure that the finished item remains consistent with your other communication materials.
