  • 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.

    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.
  • 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 hat glistens with texture!  A velour silk scarf was fused with merino wool to make this hat. A casual yet feminine version of the traditionally-male bowler hat.

    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...

    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.

    This color does not appeal to all, but you KNOW if you are the woman who can wear these colors.  Olive green, blushed pink, peach and butter yellow, this sleek beret is a wonderful addition to any wardrobe.  Team it with a tan coat, a black sweater, or grey scarf...  This hat is style and subtle glamor all the way.

    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...
