Growing up I was blessed to be surrounded with strong, intelligent and kind women.  My grandmother Katherine took time to nurture my interests, teach me things, and experience the world alongside me.  Kind, silly and fun to be around as a young child, she was a grandmother who told stories like they’re secrets meant only for you.  There are pictures of her in the 1930’s in her long felt coats walking on the high street in England arm in arm with a friend.  She isn’t rich, but she’s refined and every detail of her outfit is chosen with care.  She understood accessories and in a time when women were expected to dress modestly and blend in, she chose to stand out, not with extravagance, but with intention.

Katherine dresses not to match — but to lead. This hat isn’t an accessory. It’s a signature.

Description

This hat is handmade felt.  The silk fabric is from a thrifted silk scarf and is fused with raw merino wool in a process of wet felting (nuno felting).  Once the fabric/felt hood is created, it is blocked over a vintage heated block and shaped by hand. This cloche is warm, and perfect for keeping the weather off your hair while covering your ears in cold weather.  There is plenty of room in the hat to house your hair and can even be folded up and tucked into a purse if you need to remove it while inside.  The sweetheart cutout at the temple helps reduce pressure on your head from glasses or sunglasses.

This hat fits a larger-sized head, 22.75-23.75″ in circumference.  If you have any questions about size, please contact me.

Sensible elegance should always have a little edge.
