Veda

Hello there. Wow, is it Friday afternoon already? While taking a break, we decided to do a quick Flashback Friday post.

We love this hat! It is called ‘Veda’.

The Veda hat goes waaaaaaaaay back. The scale of this hat is so large you cannot see Hattingdon’s ears!

Veda Hattingdon.

The name? “The name Veda is primarily a gender-neutral name of Indian origin that means Eternal Knowledge”, writes babynames.com. Another baby naming site states that “Veda is a girl’s name of Sanskrit, Hungarian, and Turkish origin. In Sanskrit and Hungarian Veda means ‘knowledge’”.

Well, Hattingdon has plenty of room in her big ol’ Veda hat to stash just about anything, including loads and loads of knowledge. Instead she is probably fantasizing about a new hat!

Happy Friday. Have a great weekend.

The “Anita” cross-banded turban is one of Hattingdon fans’ all-time favourites. This elegant look comes in three colourways — black, blue and multi. Perfect for protecting your mane in summer.

We have a surprise look too. Vivian was inspired to reinterpret the “Cherie” classic hat as a cross-banded turban — including the button. It is gorgeous! Here they are.

Leah classic

We do not seem to be doing too well these days on posting for Classic Hat Monday. Maybe we should just throw in the towel on that. In the meantime, there is absolutely no law or reason we know of that means we cannot post a classic hat whenever we want. Right?

The weather is so bright and sunny — and we saw our first butterfly today. This has inspired us to post Hattingdon’s gorgeous green Leah classic hat.

Love the coolness of the green together with pristine white. And the butterfly of course.

Color Meanings write:

Open Quote

The butterfly is a creature rich with symbolism, and while there are many stories that stem from the caterpillar itself, there are specifics when it comes to color. Did you know there are green butterflies? We didn’t.

First and foremost, you’ve probably noticed that there aren’t that many green butterflies around. Experts believe this is an evolutionary response to the color green not being necessary for attracting the attention of a mate. In most cases, evolution will eliminate the components of an animal that put it in greater danger or don’t contribute to its existence. In the case of butterflies, the color green is one of those components. Read more »

See you again here soon.

Hattingdon creator and designer Vivian Grant Farrell came across the hats below on an old flash drive. This flirty saucer (which she named “Tracey”) comes in two looks, in an array of bright, bold colours. We chose the full version with the cascading leaf embellishment to show you here. What do you think?

StyleCaster states this season’s colors:

“According to fashion’s top designers, we’re in for a very lemon-lime 2022. Just look at the color palette! Lime green, saturated yellow, classic Kelly green and sunset orange are all trending hues incorporated on the Spring/Summer 2022 runways, each with its own special tang.”

We got it!
