  • 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.

  • Genevieve

    $225.00
    This hat is made for a woman that appreciates classic style, clean lines, and muted colors.  Its fedora styling brings to mind some of the famous female spies and intelligence workers of the first and second world wars such as Edith Cavell and Genevieve Feinstein.  This hat pairs stylishly with a timeless trench, but can be modernized with a basic sweater, jeans, and a simple handbag.  Whether you are undercover or out for coffee, this hat provides you warmth, substance, and style.
  • Iris Dot can be dressed up or down for an elegant evening or casual outing.  The up-cycled silk that was felted into the wool was also used to create a headband, showing just how much the wool changes not only the size of the print, but the look of the fabric.  I acquired the fur pompom on a trip to Beijing four years ago!  It trims this hat so well, hinting at colder days that are coming!  Paired with a wool coat or chunky turtleneck sweater, this hat will keep your head warm in all sorts of fall/winter weather.
  • Kintsugi

    $315.00
    Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics with gold — with the concept that an even stronger, more beautiful piece of art will emerge by incorporating its defects and imperfections. Every break is seen as unique and instead of repairing an item like new, or throwing an item away, the 400-year-old craft now highlights the "scars" as a part of the design.This Kintsugi hat is a modern take of this timeless technique. A traditional shape, this bowler features a side-swept crown at the front. The silk’s pinstripe velour flecked in gold is a staple of evening fashion, highlighting the shape of the hat with the geometry of the print. Gold beading fills in the space between the silk fabric ends, an organic pattern that emerged from the hand-felting, as if it was a broken piece of porcelain. The beads imply the flow of gold, as it is laid between the broken segments of the original hat. Sometimes in the process of repairing such a piece, we can create something more distinctive, beautiful and resilient. Timeless, yet scarred with a story from each unique piece. Kintsugi is a tender embrace of time, mishap and serendipity.

Fashion has two purposes: comfort and love.  Beauty comes when fashion succeeds."  - Coco Chanel.

    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...
