It's Our 18th Birthday....

The House Of Hats just celebrated it’s 18th Birthday,

Never in my wildest dreams would I believe that i would have a successful business that I created from dust, let alone the journey The House Of Hats has had in it's 18 years.
From fashion editorials, tv shows and celebrities wearing my creations and two shops and a Showroom later, it's been a ride.
Fast forward 18 years and in the most beautiful showroom of my dreams that I created I can truly say that i'm blessed.
I absolutely love what I do and they say if you love what you do , you never work a day in your life...
Thank you to everyone who has supported my dream along the way, you don't go unrecognised, to all my amazing clients past & present.
I'm so excited to what the future holds for The House Of Hats!!
Heres to the dreams that come reality and to the future that holds endless possibilities.✨

SPRING is Finally Here

SPRING is finally here , wow what a whirlwind of a year we all have had, it's been a very challenging year for all of us, I hope you have all been well and safe through this pandemic and wishing us all better times ahead.

We haven't stopped creating and have new exciting styles coming soon.
We will be adding some new coloured straw hats to our ' Folk ' Range and will have options of different brim sizes.
We have sourced some incredible sixties pattern fabrics and trims and we are excited to show you.
For our International hat lovers coming into the cooler season we haven't forgotten about you.
We will be introducing some wonderful new colours to our Felt Hat Collection you are going to love these.
So you now have the choice of hats to wear all year round
Our Hats are such beautiful high quality durable to wear everyday and will last you a lifetime.....

We have had such a wonderful response to our new ' CHRYSALIS ' collection and are selling out fast, these hats are limited and are mostly one offs due their vintage fabrics and trims so once they are gone there gone, so if you have your eye on something grab it before its gone forever

We just wanted to say a huge Thank you for all your ongoing love & support for our small business this year.
It gives us such joy to see our hats on you and you enjoying wearing them.

Why We Love TURBANS

Other than being one of the most glamorous hair accessories and the easiest cure for a bad hair day that makes you look instantly Glam.!! , bad hair day? (throw your hair in a turban and way you go).. The Turban has quite  a history behind it and while the fashion for the turban was partly borne of necessity in Europe, it became chic and highly worn in the early late 1930s early 1940s when it appeared on the heads of Hollywood icons. such as  Lana Turner who created an iconic image of femme fatale in turban in The Post man always rings twice..( I highly recommend to watch) ,the growing US popularity of South American stars such as Carmen Miranda  also raised the profile of the draped turban as glamour wear – Miranda wore hers in a variety of extreme permutations in her films. The turban really  never lost its glam as it was still a hot accessory straight through into the early 70s when Biba loved a shiny disco turban .

In current time the Turban has made a huge come back as seen on Prada's runway in back in 2007 and a huge turn around in the Pin Up scene , incorporating into  vintage hairstyles.

You can really adapt your own style & character with a classic turban, add a vintage brooch, a feather, the turban can take you from day to night.  

I fell in love with the turban many moons ago , and started experimenting with my own  variation of the 1940s turban creating it into a classic modern day design and using  high quality Dupion silk that I sculptured, I managed to recreate an easy lightweight style that can be worn everyday.
