We offer original and traditional designs in toquilla Panama Straw, as well as custom-blended Beaver and Rabbit fur felt. Preserving the illustrious heritage of artisanal millinery work, we use old-world tools and techniques to create one-of-a-kind heirlooms that can be passed down for generations, and we restore important and unique hats brought to us by our customers. Elegance, function, and sophistication lie at the heart of our design aesthetic, and accentuating the personal style of each and every customer is our goal. Let us make you the finest hat you’ll ever own.
