I'm going to let you in on a Behind-the-scenes moment for Trish Raine. Sometimes I struggle with creating pieces and this hat was a battle royale. I made the felt, then hemmed and hawed at the resulting hood. I discussed the merino wool fibre with a friend and finally decided to make a soft fedora. Once made, I longingly searched my many containers full of bands, bows, ribbon, flowers and feathers to come up with a finish that I would be pleased with. I ended up upcycling a be-jeweled t-shirt I'd been wearing for years, plucking the hundreds of odd-shaped jewels into a bowl, then randomly sewing them onto this hat. The result is a stunningly beautiful fedora I would call a showpiece. It has sweet flowers, leopard print and green delicate foliage that peers from around the jeweled crown. So soft and comfortable to wear, it oozes casual elegance. It was well-worth the battle and patience to persevere. "I try to make it look easy, but the behind the scenes stuff is the challenge". - Stephen Curry -
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. -
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 -
Elena is a stunner. Textured silk with gorgeous fabric detailing is fused with merino wool to make this elegant statement piece.

Fun, flirty, flowers! This hat style is from the 1960's but styled in vintage 1940's fashion. This bright turquoise hat is shaped on an asymmetrical block and worn on the side of the head, held in place with an elastic. It is a piece which can be dressed up or down, depending on your occasion. From a wedding, to the races, to a night out with friends. A great piece to add to your wardrobe! -
A modern take on a vintage turban. This "kitchen sink" turban has a blend of many fabulous prints all fused into one hat. One of a kind design, it is a casual head-turning topper for the hat-venturous! While sensible (it will not crush your hair, will keep you warm in the winter/fall/spring, and will defend you against unfavorable weather), it has a wonderful flair and joie de vivre! A unique hat to match your unique personality! -
A midnight blue denim inspired cocktail hat, or demi-chapeau, this number can be worn with a sweater, jean jacket, coat or gown. It is worn cocked to the side, sweeping across your forehead. Subtle buttery yellow, blushing pink and subtle orange flowers are speckled on a denim silk, to give this hat a casual, relaxed look. Comfortable to wear, the elastic tucks into your hair, whether it is worn down or in an upsweep. This sweet topper will make you the talk of the town. Fashion has two purposes: comfort and love. Beauty comes when fashion succeeds." - Coco Chanel. -

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. -

Marie is a gossamer hat that exudes an understated elegance. Subtle earth tones with the softest of flower petals framing your face, this hat features a charcoal gray beaded swath that carries the movement of the pattern into the folds of the hat. Picture a cool spring day once the apple blossoms are out, a little wet, the blossoms floppy and still velvety in your fingers. A perfect day to wear such a stunning creation. -

I made this gossamer hat while live streaming Megan and Harry's wedding. I had just picked up the most delightful raspberry gingham scarft for a lining, and this hat came together perfectly. Just as the day seemed to pass, the silks and merino wool blended so beautifully together, it was indeed a magical day! Reminiscent of springtime peonies and azalea flowers, this hat will raise your spirits and turn heads like the glorious flowers do each spring on their return... -

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. -
This gossamer hat is light and very comfortable to wear. It can be the hat you wear to the market or on a brisk hike in the hills. It is unlike most hats and will be noticed, not only for it’s beautiful print and colors, but for its sculpted, casual design. It is a hat that will set you apart from others. As Robin Williams once said: “You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.”
