Hello, and welcome.

We decided to update the Alys hat. Here she is.

We hope this sweet hat cheers you, and brings you a “hatful of smiles”.

Butterfly Fact

Did you know . . . butterflies taste with their feet?

Open quote in Hattingdon brown.

Butterflies have taste receptors on their feet to help them find their host plants and locate food. A female butterfly lands on different plants, drumming the leaves with her feet until the plant releases its juices. Spines on the back of her legs have chemoreceptors that detect the right match of plant chemicals. When she identifies the right plant, she lays her eggs. A butterfly of any biological sex will also step on its food, using organs that sense dissolved sugars to taste food sources like fermenting fruit.”

Into the green

Very Well Mind tells us the following about the color green:

“Typically, green symbolizes life, fertility, renewal, and resurrection. Green is a mix of yellow (which symbolizes glory and energy) and blue (which relates to God and the heavens).”

Let’s take a look at some gloriously, heavenly hats in green with Hattingdon. She looks absolutely wonderful.

The hat coming up is a vintage beauty from 2016, and very possibly the pièce de résistance of Hattingdon’s entire collection of green hats. Vivian named the hat Susannah. Isn’t she sweeeeeet?

We hope you love this collection. It is a knockout! Come back and see us soon. —Hattingdon.

Electra in yellow

Yellow is a luminous color that attracts light, exuberance, and freshness. We can’t help but be drawn in by its perky cheeriness.

Electra in Yellow

As world history and Western symbology expert Michael Pastoureau noted in his book Yellow: The History of a Color, yellow shares a similar likeness to gold and honey, which epitomized pleasure and abundance in ancient cultures and religions. It also signified opulence since royals would wear it in their clothing.

If you feel yellow represents you, you may be someone who enjoys the thrill of a mental challenge and a wide variety of intellectual interests. 

According to Nina Ashby, psychic and author of Simply Color Therapy, the color yellow is symbolized by the sun and represents joy, light, and mental positivity. Spiritually, the color yellow is also embodied by the solar plexus chakra—the seat of power and will.

Ashby points out yellow is associated with the mind and the logical, left side of the brain that organizes information.

Erin go bragh 2023

Blog HattingdonLeave a comment

St. Patrick’s Day is officially observed on March 17 each year, though celebrations may not be limited to this date. The significance of March 17 is that — it said to be the date of St. Patrick’s death in the late 5th century — circa A.D. 493.

We are honoring the day with a wonderful classic hat created in “the green and the gold”. We named it Erin.

Erin Hattingdon

The word “Erin” is of Gaelic origins, and an Irish word for “Ireland.”

Erin go bragh is an anglicization of Éire go brách, which literally means “Ireland to the end of time.”
