Meet the founder

What do we do?

We create playful, elegant, unforgettable, bold joyfully oversized hats. They are for anyone who believes that fashion should be fun and unforgettable. My aim is making hats that turn heads and spark joy, anything but ordinary because subtle was never my style. Joy is a statement and so is my hat, playful, elegant, anything but ordinary. Ready to turn heads. Show stopper. Hat for happiness. Hat for life/longevity.
