Several months ago, hat designer Eugenia Kim asked our permission to buy a stencil to use on a limited edition hat. She had chosen JA47 Cherry Blossom from our Japan range. Every now and again, I would check into her web-site Eugenia Kim to look at her selection of gorgeous hats and headbands and also to look out for the one with our stencil on it and it is finally there. Here is the result:
It is called "Honey 3" and is a camel toyo braid sunhat with black stencilled flowers, gold hardware with a gold chain and we love it! I also have my eye on a cloche hat called "Dottie" that looks like something straight out of the 1930's. Eugenia started her hat business by happy accident. She was wearing a red guinea feather cloche (how fab does that sound!) to cover a shaved head (the solution to a bad haircut). Just walking down the street she was stopped by several store owners and her hat empire was born. Now her creations are sold worldwide, feature in magazines regularly and are worn by stars. Anyone who advocates hat wearing is OK in our book! R.
