Flashblack Etienne

There is little doubt that this is one of Vivian’s all time favourite hats, and for a lot of Hattingdon fans too. It was designed so many years ago, so early on, that none of us, including Vivian, can remember when she created it.

It is a great look. We love love love it.

Totally wonderful. Red, white, and blue always creates a great look? Bye for now. See you again soon.

Curtis the First

Curtis, by the way, is the very first cartoon horse Vivian created — and the only one — until she created and introduced a lady hat-wearing cartoon horse a few years later. From there it took off like a rocket. Vivian has designed 100s of hats for Hattingdon since that time. It all began with Curtis.

Can you believe the Anita design was created as long ago as 2012? It looks as fresh and charming as ever, don’t you think? We hope you enjoyed seeing it.
