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 -

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. -

An elevated cat lady is the epitome of refined eccentricity and charm. She adores her feline companions, but she does so with grace, style, and intentionality. Her home is not overrun with kitsch but artfully adorned with curated touches—perhaps a vintage brass cat figurine on a marble shelf, or bespoke portraits of her pets in gilded frames. She wears tailored clothes with quirky, elegant details—a brooch shaped like a cat, silk scarves with subtle feline motifs, and this hat. She’s intelligent, witty, and independent—traits she admires in cats and reflects in her own life. Her conversations are engaging, her bookshelves are full, and her tea is always steeped just right. -
I'm regularly inspired by women; famous ones and those I'd consider 'everyday women', those who I surround myself with at home, at work and in my community. I love getting to know them, learning what makes them tick and where their strengths lie. I especially love women who are grounded, kind and smart, those who don't apologize for who they are and what they want. Those who sometimes against all odds thrive with compassion, humor and style. This hat is for them... a classic design with a unique personality twist, sleek and stylish while at the same time a little edgy and interesting... -
