This kitchen sink deep cloche is named for Alma Reville, a pioneer for women in the film industry. She also was known as Alfred Hitchcock's wife. Writer, assistant director, actress, screenwriter, Alma wore many hats and forged a path for women in film. She was also Hitchcock's sounding board and collaborator. On accepting a Lifetime Achievement Award, Alfred is quoted as thanking "I beg permission to mention by name only four people who have given me the most affection, appreciation and encouragement, and constant collaboration. The first of the four is a film editor, the second is a scriptwriter, the third is the mother of my daughter, Pat, and the fourth is as fine a cook as ever performed miracles in a domestic kitchen. And their names are Alma Reville". -
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... -
Subtle hints of greys, blues, and gold comprise this stunning work of art. Appropriate for any occasion, and perfect for supporting loved ones on their wedding day. This piece is unique and timeless. -
Elena is a stunner. Textured silk with gorgeous fabric detailing is fused with merino wool to make this elegant statement piece. She can be dressed up or down, worn more casually for a stroll outside or paired with a winter coat to accompany you on an evening out. You WILL turn heads in this hat, you will be noticed. -
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. -
This is a perfect gossamer hat to get if you're wanting something comforting on fall days, a hat you can dress up for an event, or keep casual for weekday wear. Black and royal blue silk mixed with royal blue wool and a fun lining silk, this hat is the one you'll reach for when you just need a hat to be there for you, without much thought or consideration. In this "post-covid" life things seem overwhelming at times both in complexity or busy-ness, and maybe just slowing down and simplifying is the way through it. KISS principle (keep is simple sweetie) seems juuuuust about right. -

This year the shift from summer to Autumn happened overnight. 27C degrees dropping to 14C for a daytime high, it is as if Mother Nature hit a switch and nature's fall transformation was underway. Evenings became cool and dark while morning darkness lingered. Leaves began to turn almost instantly. People started reaching for their sweaters and cozy clothes, turning their fans and air conditioning off... This hat is what you need to reach for, to help ease the transition into autumn and winter. It reminds me of cold dark nights and a warm fire, meeting friends at a pub or cozy meeting place. Despite being a depiction of Van Gogh's Apricot blossoms (read springtime), the color is reminiscent of the long sunsets in the fall that glow with deep blue colors, as the darkness filters in. -

This hat is THE accessory piece to an outfit or a special outing. The felt hat has delicious texture as the wool has fused to and rippled the black silk velour during the felting process. It reminds me of textiles made for Royalty that sit in museums or castles in Europe. The bow is made with stiff pineapple silk; oversized and flipped upside down as if you're about to get swept off your feet! We play dress up as youngsters. Somewhere along the line many of us lose that ability to just let go and express ourselves with fashion and play. This hat invites you back to a simpler time where play was fun and the bigger the bow, the better! -

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...
