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... -
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. -

This cloche embodies Art Deco in the 1920/30's. Art Deco design is characterized by layered shapes, intricate line art, aerodynamic shapes and metallic colors like gold and chrome. This zigzag modern take on the 20's cloche is a one of a kind show-stopper. The hat band is an upcycled beaded strap from a dress and some petals on the 3D flower are done made using un-felted silk, emphasizing the size of the original silk pattern. A real statement piece, it can be worn to an even or a special night out, or simply as daywear teamed with a warm sweater or wool coat. Glamour and Luxury, Art-Deco inspired wearable art. -

I have a friend Nicole (Coco) who I get to see nearly every day at work. She brings out the best in me and is an incredible photographer. These are her shots. 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. It is so stylish, simple yet sculptural and timeless, and makes you feel like you get to dress up again bringing out your inner vixen! 2020 has been a beast, but this hat makes you feel more in your skin, more joy and optimism for a time we can all get out of our sweatpants again!!! Everyone needs a little Nicole/Coco in Leopard in their lives... (photo credits: Nicole Delong Photography, in Fredericton, New Brunswick). -

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.
