# Luxe Plastic Bucket Hats This New Hat from Burberry Features a Transparent Synthetic Rim By Riley von Niessen | Published 2018-08-10 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plastic-bucket-hat References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2018/8/burberry-pvc-vintage-check-bucket-hat) & [burberry](http://burberry.com/) British luxury fashion house Burberry has just released a plastic bucket hat that's ideal for fans of the brand who have a love for its vintage beige, red and black plaid pattern, but are also looking for something a little more modern. With this in mind, the brand's creative team came up with a simple bucket hat design that features the vintage plaid at the base, with a rim that's made from a durable PVC material. This transparent accent gives the hat a unique look, while making it easier for the user to see past it if they choose to wear the hat lower down. The hat is available for just over $500 USD from retailers such as MATCHESFASHION.
