  • Bibi

    $160.00
    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.
  • This hat has an 80's gold "trophy wife" dress fused with black wool.  All the beads and sequins draped over the crown of the hat reminds me of molten gold.  A showstopper piece, this can be worn casually to a market, a function or a night out.  The crown features an indented swoosh that highlights the movement of the beads across the hat.  One-of-a-kind, this hat is a head-turner from every angle.
  • Mrs. Gray

    $275.00
    According to Kate Smith (sensationalcolor.com) "Gray is the color of intellect and of compromise. It’s a diplomatic color, negotiating all the distance between black and white. We typically consider gray to be conservative, elegant, and cool, though it can be a bit mysterious".  It is the color which supports and enhances all others, and in the palette of this hat enhances the natural golds, and browns and dusty blues of the silk on merino wool.  Sophisticated and stately with a casual flair, this hat will not only keep you warm during cooler weather, it can be dressed up or down when  paired with a sweater, jacket, or scarf for many an outing.

    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.

    Reports have it that F. Scott Fitzgerald's character Daisy, in the Great Gatsby, was modeled after Genevra King.  It is written that Ginerva "remained for Fitzgerald an archetype for the alluring, independent and upper class woman, ultimately unattainable by someone of a modest social background like himself".  I see Daisy wearing this cloche in this modern day, highlighting her casual classic beauty, drawing draw the eye and admiration of passers-by...

    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.

    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"
