In her quaint workshop, tucked in between the winding village streets in New York’s Hudson River Valley, Carole, our milliner, designs each of our show-stopping hats. Following her creative combinations of shape, color, and texture, her team of highly skilled, specialized artisans handcraft each hat, uno alla volta. First, each base is formed on a heated mold, trimmed, and hemmed, before cooling and it is sent off to the decorating team for a final touch of old-world, artisanal magic.
I love this hat most in all of my collection. I call it my crown jewel. It's one in a million. Simply stunning.

valerie cloche hat
Love the Hat!!! However,like the reviewer who stated that the hat went down to her glasses, the same occurred for me. I learned an old trick from a milliner many years ago. There is a grow grain ribbon sewed to the inner rim of the hat. Using some pins or a few stitches (tucks) you can size the hat to fit.

This beautifully crafted hat is a conversion of gift money I'd received accompanying our church's Men's Chorale and playing in the hand bells. Truly a self-indulgent "pretty" I'd never have bought otherwise. I love it and have received many compliments on it. It is so very special. You can be very proud of your catalog's variety and layout. I love looking at every page when it arrives What a gifted team of artisans you have assembled. I wish you continued success.
