This is a feminine take on the traditional men's bowler hat. The felt reminds me of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, in her polka-dot dress at the Polo field. The throwback feeling of the fabric dress used in this hat has me nostalgic for a simpler time and a delightful romcom movie. While the silk material is fused with merino wool to make the hat, a simple strip of silk is used to highlight the hatband on this one-of-a-kind hat. Simple covered buttons detail the side of the hat band in understated classic style. -
The thing about felt making is that although you have a vision and you set up what you're making very carefully and skillfully, you never really know how it is going to turn out. There is a "letting go" of control when feltmaking, and when you reveal what you've made, I call it a "no whammies" reveal. A little hope and a prayer each time. ;) This hat turned out EXACTLY as I'd planned. I couldn't have placed the print better, as the hood (felt shape) was destined for this vintage turban block. The felt is light, thin and even, as you would expect with such a topper. It exudes luxury and is for the woman who is a confident hat-wearer. This hat WILL turn heads and say to the onlooker that you are a woman who is sure of yourself. Casual and dressy, this hat can take you from the market to an evening out. -
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 is a stunning deep red color mixed with a graphic design. Its shape is achieved by blocking it with folds on a square-based crown wooden block. The resulting hat is a show-stopper. This is for the woman who likes to be bold. Who likes to wear her hats a little recessed on her head. A woman who likes subtle volume in her hat. A head-turner for sure. Subtle and elegant and regal, for the queen in you. -

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. -
This hat has a sleek silhouette, a whimsical assortment of patterns, and a deep red color that will catch everyone's eye. From every angle, this hat has you looking fabulous. It is versatile for casual wear with a denim jacket, or a night out on the town with a felt coat; it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. "A hat is a flag, a shield, a bit of armor, and the badge of femininity. A hat is the difference between wearing clothes and wearing a costume; it's the difference between being dressed and being dressed up; it's the difference between looking adequate and looking your best. A hat is to be stylish in, to glow under, to flirt beneath, to make all others seem jealous over, and to make all men feel masculine about. A piece of magic is a hat." - Martha Sliter. -

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 -
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". -

This is a hat for someone who loves being outdoor in the winter. Ditch the toque for this flower garden that blooms all winter! Wear it to work, a winter snowshoe, or out to an event. This hat will go everywhere with you and can tuck nicely into a purse if you must store her while you're inside. Romantic and glamourous, Zoe helps you embrace your wintertime look, whatever that will be! "Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak." - Rachel Zoe. -

This hat is a throwback cloche made with "all but two" floral-patterned silks. A kitchen sink hat (many silks combined into one piece), it is like a garden bed full of perennials, your own English Garden, a dense and rich collection of flowers. With marvelous textures in the velour, sequins, beads, or dense silk flowers that sit atop of the wool rather than get felted in, this is a feast for those who appreciate texture in their fashion. -

This summer I've been watching my social media feed, and the escapes my friends have made from their regular lives to bodies of water. There is peace, mental space and room to breathe when one finds oneself in or beside a large body of water. It is as if the deep colors of the water mixed with the rhythm of the waves lulls you to another part of your brain where you can escape the business of your life... This hat and its relaxed style and deep marine colours evokes that same feeling. Light and comfortable, it can "take you away" when you are not close to your body of water, evoking the same tranquility as you feel when on holiday... "Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think". - Robert Henri -
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 gossamer hat is light and very comfortable to wear. It can be the hat you wear to the market or on a brisk hike in the hills. It is unlike most hats and will be noticed, not only for it’s beautiful print and colors, but for its sculpted, casual design. It is a hat that will set you apart from others. As Robin Williams once said: “You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.” -
The resume of the woman who wears this hat reads as follows: Uniform is the classic black trench. Carries a briefcase to work, while wearing stilettos. Can disarm you verbally in mediation or court. This hat pairs perfectly with a classic black coat, red lips, and a fierce personality. Women who love espresso need apply. -

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... -

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 made this gossamer hat while live streaming Megan and Harry's wedding. I had just picked up the most delightful raspberry gingham scarft for a lining, and this hat came together perfectly. Just as the day seemed to pass, the silks and merino wool blended so beautifully together, it was indeed a magical day! Reminiscent of springtime peonies and azalea flowers, this hat will raise your spirits and turn heads like the glorious flowers do each spring on their return... -

This 1920's inspired cloche is a modern take on an old design. Like you're the technicolor girl dropped back in a vintage black and white film. This hat is VIBRANT. Beautiful turquoise wool and silk with hazel and turquoise highlights in the applique across the bottom of the crown. Beads and sequins dot across the fabric. The crown is deep, meaning you can pull it down to channel the coquette 20's look, or leave it a bit higher, depending on taste (or weather conditions). -

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. -

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. -

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 fedora is made from an upcycled animal print dress featuring flecks of gold, deep greens and grays. It immediately made me think of the woods, somewhere I like to escape to in all seasons, be it on snowshoes or with rubber boots (our woods are pretty muddy all year). Casual and soft, this fedora is very comfortable to wear and warm on your head! Nature is also reflected in the merino wool with deep charcoal gray and mustard highlights. Such a rugged yet delicate beauty. P.S. Ozzy was with us on our shoot. He's completely deaf and was hoooooooowling with excitement to be outside in the woods. For that last photograph, of course I joined him. I believe I was as excited as he was. :) -

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! -

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... -

I've stepped out of 'professional' Trish Raine here to show you some of the ACTUAL shots we got, wearing Coco in Leopard. You see, Nicole makes me giggle and this hat on its own brings me glee.

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. -

One-of-a-kind, this hat is a head-turner from every angle. -
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 -

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. -
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. -
