It was worn once where everything was manicured - hedges trimmed, voices measured, tradition held like a teacup. And then it left. Somewhere between the long drive and the open road, the rules fell away. The check remained - but softened, reworked, given room to breathe. The form relaxed. The purpose changed. Now it belongs to mornings that start slow, to coffee in hand, to conversations that wander. It pairs just as easily with worn-in denim as it once did with something tailored. A piece with history - but no expectations. Wear it now, and you carry only what you choose. -
Some women whisper. Some women warm a room. Cayenne changes the temperature entirely. Deep red textures bloom across the fabric like winter flowers, catching the light with subtle sparkle and movement. It's bold, a little wild, and impossible to ignore. Cayenne is for the woman who doesn't wait for summer to wear color. She walks into a snowy street like it's a runway. She laughs loudly. She brings her own heat to winter. -
The Dee family created the American candy company that produces Smarties. Founder Edward Dee, who used to occasionally go in to work until age 95 (he has since passed), left the company to his three granddaughters who currently run the candy empire. With family-friendly working hours, each smarties workers are gifted 30lb of candy each Halloween to share the sweet goodness. This "Dee's" gossamer is a nod to women-run empires, with heart, sharp minds and a sweet disposition. -
Emmy Noether was a groundbreaking mathmatician whose theorem explained that the deepest laws of physics are governed by symmetry. Her work reshaped modern mathematics and helped scientists understand how the universe holds together. This gossamer's lattice of beads and quiet geometry echoes the patterns she loved to uncover.

For women who know that elegance often begins with a pattern no one else can see. -

If I could pick ANY celebrity to wear this hat, I would pick Helen Mirren. Her nod to casual fashion, her attitude on ageing, her fight for better roles and jobs for women in Hollywood, and being a norm-defying badass. I bet she would love this hat even more if she knew it was from a thrift shop / up-cycled dress! I picture a cool autumn or winter day in London where she has to go out. Her casual chic outfit in subdued denim and a textured jacket, her favorite leather boots. Toss on this gossamer and with grace and elegance, she is out the door. Warm and glamourous. -
The expression "hold onto your hat" showed up in the late 1800's when open-air travel was the norm: horseback riding, carriage driving, trains or wagons. When a sudden gust of wind or sharp turn could separate you from your beloved hat. It morphed into an warning when things were about to get fast, rough, or unpredictable - good or bad. This hat withstands the warning, as it gently frames your face and comforts your head. The slouched structure feels secure and effortless, such that the phrase allows you to fear less about losing control and more about stepping into the momentum. Secure enough to forget, and free enough to follow where the moment leads. -
This hat is named for the woman we all know, the one who is holding her world together. Children, events, spouses, small businesses, parents and life's changes; there are so many dynamics to keep a family together and functioning. With humor, humility and a lot of grit, this one goes out to that friend who manages to keep things balanced with grace, a wry smile...and a touch of madness. -
Who needs a break these days? To step off that road you're on, with your job, your family and commitments... We love what we do and we love who we are, but sometimes we just want to stop and step off. Breathe and take stock of all the good around you to really truly appreciate what you have in life. To treasure time. Lavender is one of those things that can help you stop or at least slow down, with its calm color and fragrant smell. Whether it is a field to behold, or a small sprig that catches your eye (and nose), this gossamer hat will remind you of the heat of summer and smell of lavender. Perfect for fall and spring, and worn best under a hood in the very cold winter. Lavender can help you find clarity, restore balance and embrace a calmer, fuller life. -
This luxurious topper is named for Peggy Guggenheim - a woman who built a world, filled it with art and dressed as though she belonged in the center of it. Known for her fearless eye and unmistakable accessories, she understood that style is not decoration, its declaration. Peggy is created by combining an upcycled silk skirt, fine merino wool and a cashmere sweater. Peggy's softness makes her a part of the Trish Raine Luxe line. Her relaxed drape and rich tapestry of tone create a silhouette that feels both effortless and deliberate - like something chosen, not just worn. One of a kind. For the woman who edits her world - and wears it well. -
In summer I can't help but be inspired by nature, in this specific case by the raspberries that grow wild in our yard. Their geometry, the way they ripen and smell, and of course their magical taste. I love strolling around the property, grabbing handfuls of the fruit and enjoying the warmth and beauty of the season. This Gossamer hat has that summertime ease and simplicity to it. Not too showy but on closer inspection has a fine beaded detail and a sweets-inspired band. This hat can remind you of summertime and its bounty the whole year through. Perfect for the fall and spring seasons, good under a hood in the winter. -

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. -

Striking but subtle in her tawny tones, light pink beads, paisley design and silk headband, Madge gossamer has got you covered. All she asks in return is that you wear her to the market, on your commute, into the woods, or to a dinner out. She's game to go wherever you take her. She loves comforting you on those days your hair is being unruly, couching your locks in her ample beret-style room. She promises not to tug at you, instead warming you (but providing enough air flow so that you don't overheat) and with her silky insides, she promises to be gentle. She even has room for glasses and won't give you a headache in return. See, Madge is the friend you didn't know you needed. :) For a large-headed woman, meet your new BFF. -

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 is dreamy to me. A garden on a clear, blue-sky day with flowers on display for you to admire and observe. Wearing this flower garden on your head outside of summer or springtime to me drops into the bonus column of why this hat is fabulous....but it is not for everybody. It is a funny thing as a milliner (hat maker), I LOVE this piece, yet it won't draw all people the same way it does me. While selling hats I've learned that I really cannot predict which hats will sell first, and am constantly surprised at what gets attention with each sale. As Jackie says, no single sort of garden suits everyone. (I still cannot wait to see who takes Jackie home). :) -

The silk for this gossamer hat was up-cycled from a very intricately beaded silk blouse. SO vibrant with fabulous detail, this hat reminds me of my garden right now (August)! Heaps of colorful perennials providing pollen and nectar to honeybees, hummingbirds and various other flying insects. I will often sit quietly and watch the action around my garden beds, witnessing the little ecosystem and marveling in its beauty. That feeling, that "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh", is what this hat does to me. Capture summer and take that feeling of calm and warmth with you into your winter and fall seasons with this gorgeous gossamer hat. -

This hat is best described by a song by Tenille Townes - wanting to reclaim her fierce, carefree self, indulging in the beauty and pace of the smaller moments in life. "The girl who didn't care": "I wanna worry a little less, love a little more Barefoot in a dress, dancing on the floor Like I did, back when, when I was younger Making up the songs, playing in my head Didn't matter what anybody said Didn't need to be like all the others Giant dreams and wild hair Yeah, I know she's still in there somewhere The girl who didn't care" -

Wallis Simpson exemplified luxury, style, and practicality often opting for versatile pieces that could be worn for various occasions. She was known for her ability to mix high-end designer items with more affordable accessories. Simpson's sense of style was influential and aspirational, capturing the essence of luxury while remaining grounded in practicality. As a prominent figure in the 1930s, she epitomized the balance between opulence and functionality in both her fashion choices and her lifestyle. I feel like this Gossamer, Wallis, would fit the bill for today's simple eco-conscious, fashion design.
