Early morning with your coffee in hand, you slide on your sandals and wander into your garden. The day is calm and the smell of roses starts to perfuse the air, warming in the sun. This hat is that feeling that you don't have to leave behind when autumn and winter arrive. You can drop your shoulders and relax every time you reach for this hat. I wish I could infuse a smell of roses into this hat (hahah - I can't) to keep you company over the winter, reminding you that spring and summer are not that far away... -
This cloche embodies Art Deco in the 1920/30's. Art Deco design is characterized by layered shapes, intricate line art, aerodynamic shapes and metallic colors like gold and chrome. This zigzag modern take on the 20's cloche is a one of a kind show-stopper. The hat band is an upcycled beaded strap from a dress and some petals on the 3D flower are done made using un-felted silk, emphasizing the size of the original silk pattern. A real statement piece, it can be worn to an even or a special night out, or simply as daywear teamed with a warm sweater or wool coat. Glamour and Luxury, Art-Deco inspired wearable art. -
Bessie cloche captures the 1920's feel with a modern aesthetic. Eye catching from every angle, it is a mixture of fabrics, textures and design, an ultra-feminine version of an unadorned cloche. Bessie love was an actress who transitioned successfully from silent to sound movies, working on an off until 1983. Expected to entertain at parties, she quickly learned how to sing and dance, and play the ukulele, and is credited with being the first woman to dance the Charleston on film. -
A great "starter" Trish Raine hat, Bibi cloche has style, sensibility and practicality. She will protect you in cold, damp winter weather (basically anything winter will throw at you), although colder than -15C you might place her under a hood. She will fold up in your purse, willingly fit a ponytail of hair in her folds, and her design (many silks) will match pretty much anything you wear. She can go "running" or exercising with you; snowshoeing, x-country skiing, dog walking. She can also be the comfortable friend who accompanies you to the Saturday market and completes chores with you. She is reliable and maintains her shape for many years. Like a trusted old friend, she's got your back, providing comfort and warmth. -
In the late winter most of us crave color, a warm breeze and to feel the heat of the sun. New growth shows itself slowly as the snow recedes. There is a sense of joy, of hope and new beginnings. Plans start to form for getting (and staying) outside, perhaps even seeing family or friends we've not been able to see... While Covid-19 has made the last year very difficult and perhaps has made the winter feel especially long, I think there is renewed hope and relaxation with the thought of the arrival of spring. This hat is so very cheerful and spring-like. The silk is upcycled from a skirt that has embroidered flowers at the top and bottom, the middle being a pile of delicate leaves. I'm thrilled with how they've clustered on the hat, as it looks as if your head is a garden bed blooming beautiful flowers! A vintage turban design with a modern twist using upcycled fashion. What a bouquet! -
When you wear a hat or any fashion that "fits" physically and stylistically you stand taller, feeling more secure and confident. You know today is going to be a good day...equal to a great hair day or simply driving when all the traffic lights turn green as you commute to work. Deborah is one of those "sure thing" additions to your wardrobe. She's luxurious to feel and looks like a foreign fabric, perhaps fur. People won't believe she's handmade felt with her muted colors and subtle patterns. The hint of animal print on the edge, she will support any look you want, be it casual or on a night out. You won't have to say a word with her on, people will take note of it promoting the beautiful you... She's a woman of action and few words. -
This is a cloche/turban with a vintage feel and modern sensibilities. I named her Eleanor, to honor Eleanor Roosevelt who made such a significant impact on civil and women's rights. A woman who carved out a new role for first wives and pioneered women's rights. I would like to think she would like this understated yet eye-catching hat. One of a kind, sensible and fashion forward. "The Future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Eleanor Roosevelt -
There are all kinds of quotes about Leopard print. Seemingly you're either a fan, or not. Where Jenna may surprise you is the variety of her undertones (tan, burnt orange, brown) thus the amount of colors and outfits she will match! Leopard print is something that acts as a staple in a wardrobe, a kind of neutral... This hat will roll up into a purse, fend off bad weather (snow, sleet, fog, some rain) keeping you warm and cozy as you go about your life this autumn, winter and fall. Adding a little zing to a wardrobe, she's ready for you...are you ready for her? -

Fresh air, low sun, subtle warmth and leaves crunching underfoot. When you wake up to go out, grab Autumn Sunshine to keep you toasty this fall and winter. Subtle paisley and muted gold with hints of light pink sparkle... A comfortable and deep cloche on your head to make you look fabulous and keep you warm.. "It was one of those perfect fall days when the air is cool enough to wake you up but the sun is also kissing your face". - Anita Diamant -

This 1920's inspired cloche is a modern take on an old design. Like you're the technicolor girl dropped back in a vintage black and white film. This hat is VIBRANT. Beautiful turquoise wool and silk with hazel and turquoise highlights in the applique across the bottom of the crown. Beads and sequins dot across the fabric. The crown is deep, meaning you can pull it down to channel the coquette 20's look, or leave it a bit higher, depending on taste (or weather conditions). -

Sometimes I make hats and they exceed my expectations, and this one is one of them. The upcycled silk scarf is brown with gold velvet which when combined with brown wool created this hood - so lush and rich in character. The big geometric shapes remind me of ancient Egyptian's eyeliner, so placing the print over the wearer's left eye is a nod to Cleopatra and the beauty of that ancient culture. This one is a stunner from all angles, a work of wearable art. -

I have a friend Nicole (Coco) who I get to see nearly every day at work. She brings out the best in me and is an incredible photographer. These are her shots. I've stepped out of 'professional' Trish Raine here to show you some of the ACTUAL shots we got, wearing Coco in Leopard. You see, Nicole makes me giggle and this hat on its own brings me glee. It is so stylish, simple yet sculptural and timeless, and makes you feel like you get to dress up again bringing out your inner vixen! 2020 has been a beast, but this hat makes you feel more in your skin, more joy and optimism for a time we can all get out of our sweatpants again!!! Everyone needs a little Nicole/Coco in Leopard in their lives... (photo credits: Nicole Delong Photography, in Fredericton, New Brunswick). -

This hat is a throwback cloche made with "all but two" floral-patterned silks. A kitchen sink hat (many silks combined into one piece), it is like a garden bed full of perennials, your own English Garden, a dense and rich collection of flowers. With marvelous textures in the velour, sequins, beads, or dense silk flowers that sit atop of the wool rather than get felted in, this is a feast for those who appreciate texture in their fashion. -

Reports have it that F. Scott Fitzgerald's character Daisy, in the Great Gatsby, was modeled after Genevra King. It is written that Ginerva "remained for Fitzgerald an archetype for the alluring, independent and upper class woman, ultimately unattainable by someone of a modest social background like himself". I see Daisy wearing this cloche in this modern day, highlighting her casual classic beauty, drawing draw the eye and admiration of passers-by... -

I don't know about you, but given today's social isolation precautions, I am finding moments of joy in the small activities in my house. While felting in my kitchen I typically stream dance music, and find myself singing and dancing to some great tunes. Nothing gets me happier than a view, the sun, good music and felt making. This hat is a kitchen sink style cloche, which while sensible and covers your ears, also conveys moments of joy! The piece has several different silks all colliding on one hat, a style of hat I've termed "The Kitchen Sink". In the 1920's there was an actress Gilda Gray who popularized the "shimmy" dance. I believe she would have worn this hat fabulously. Combined with her beauty, European exoticism and willingness to shake her stuff on stage, Gilda was seen as unconventional, slightly dangerous, and emblematic of a new generation ready to party. -

It is said that the dawn of teenagers emerged in the 1920's. Entering the workforce a little later, delaying marriage, and the automobile carrying a courtship away from one's parent's watchful eye made room for teenagers to express themselves, soon becoming the flapper generation. Smoking, cutting their hair, dancing with wild abandon, flappers characterized an energetic freedom not yet seen by women. This hat is a modern take on what a new teen might wear. Deep on the head, a coy brim and a showy bouquet of flowers on the crown, this hat is sensible, retro and yet fashion forward! Filled with flowers it is a very pretty statement piece that can be dressed up or down. "A girl should be two things: who and what she wants". - Coco Chanel -

I have had this beaded silk material for years. Sometimes I let silks sit a year or two until I realize the amazing hat I want to make with them. Recently while thrift shopping I picked up a black and navy floral scarf that I intended to offer to my niece for her hat. On closer inspection I realized that it was a perfect match for the beaded flower silk, and I scooped it up for myself! This is the resulting hat, a GORGEOUS hat from all angles, the beads and sequins and sculptural elements. Subtle yet glamorous, it can be dressed up for a night out and worn casually with a high-neck sweater to get your morning coffee... -

This is a hat for someone who loves being outdoor in the winter. Ditch the toque for this flower garden that blooms all winter! Wear it to work, a winter snowshoe, or out to an event. This hat will go everywhere with you and can tuck nicely into a purse if you must store her while you're inside. Romantic and glamourous, Zoe helps you embrace your wintertime look, whatever that will be! "Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak." - Rachel Zoe.
