Hatshepsut is considered one of Egypt's greatest pharaohs, a woman who brought great wealth and artistry to her land. Not only did she command one of Egypt’s most successful trading expeditions, bringing back gold, ebony, and incense, but she orchestrated the earliest recorded plant hunting in 1495BC. She sent botanists from Egypt to Somalia to find incense trees. I can only imagine her gardens of curated plants collected from foreign lands; the flowers, the smells, the scientists studying each plant and their benefits... What plants and flowers we foster is very personal. Often for beauty or perfume, but sometimes for sentimental reasons, gardeners and collectors surround themselves with seasonal beauty. This hat reminds me of such a collection of flowers. Every angle of this hat showcases a beautiful floral print amongst the folds. Bring your garden into fall/winter and spring with Hatshepsut. -

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. -
Hilma Af Klint was an Swedish artist ahead of her time - blending botany, science, mysticism, and spirit into work the world wasn't ready for. Trained at Stockholm's Royal Academy of Fine arts in 1887 - rare for a women - she created some of the first abstract paintings, then chose to keep them hidden for decades after her death. She trusted what she saw, even when no one else did. This deep cloche carries that same quiet certainty. Structured yet soft, patterned like a secret language, it sits low and close - like a thought you keep just for yourself. I feel that she would have loved this hat, a chance to wear her art before anyone knew it existed... -

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. -
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. -
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. -
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.

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... -

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.

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.

While watching Jeopardy the other night I learned that damask fabric originates in Damascus, Syria, with woven silk. Founded at a port in the Silk Road, this specialized form of weaving was traded and spread to Europe, being manufactured in Italy and France. Damask emphasizes the contrast of color and luster and creates a three-dimensional effect with the motif slightly rising up from the base. The emerald green of this hat is grounded in the navy blue creating a luxurious combination and timeless elegant design. A statement piece to be sure, damasks spark drama, create interest, draw the eye, and elevate your look. -

This is a cloche/turban with a vintage feel and modern sensibilities. I named her Eleanor, to honor Eleanor Roosevelt who made such a significant impact on civil and women's rights.

One of a kind, sensible and fashion forward. "The Future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Eleanor Roosevelt -

Reports have it that F. Scott Fitzgerald's character Daisy, in the Great Gatsby, was modeled after Genevra King.

I see Daisy wearing this cloche in this modern day, highlighting her casual classic beauty, drawing draw the eye and admiration of passers-by... -

It is said that the dawn of teenagers emerged in the 1920's. Entering the workforce a little later, delaying marriage, and the automobile carrying a courtship away from one's parent's watchful eye made room for teenagers to express themselves, soon becoming the flapper generation. Smoking, cutting their hair, dancing with wild abandon, flappers characterized an energetic freedom not yet seen by women. This hat is a modern take on what a new teen might wear. Deep on the head, a coy brim and a showy bouquet of flowers on the crown, this hat is sensible, retro and yet fashion forward! Filled with flowers it is a very pretty statement piece that can be dressed up or down. "A girl should be two things: who and what she wants". - Coco Chanel -

The red poppy - highly symbolic and aesthetically pleasing. It has been known to represent sleep, peace and death, to produce opiates and cause wars. For me it is a flower that quickly captures my attention. The velvet feeling of its petals, both vibrant and yet so delicate. The tall stem that looks as if it could easily snap in a sharp wind. The seed pod that has remarkable geometry and reminds me of a salt shaker. The beauty of this flower takes my breath away, and helps me remember... -

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" -

The brown classic bow and grosgrain brim contrast with the subtle yet playful polka dot silk. The silk is from an up-cycled skirt that I thrifted and actually wore for a season!
