Hey there. Take a look at this. This is the “Elena” hat that Vivian created for the 2023 Spring/Summer season. Simply stunning!

The name Elena is a girl’s name of Spanish, Italian, Greek origin meaning “bright, shining light”.

The Inspiration

We love everything about the Elena hat. The colours for this hat were inspired by the artwork of Sveta Osborne shown below.

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.

Hello. Happy Friday!

Vivian is experimenting with art posters for Hattingdon, and beginning to generate some interest for them.

Just for fun, she created a multi image poster using the Splash hat design in nine colors, adding a border to see what it would look like framed. What do you think?

Vivian’s Fave Hats: Letter S

Greetings and salutations. There is some big time nostalgia going on here today. Both of these designs launched Hattingdon Horses, and made them the incredibly popular cartoon horses they became.

Let’s get down to business. Here are Vivian’s selections.

Classic Hat

When this hat was created all those many moons ago, neither Vivian nor any of the rest of us had any idea just how cherished the Savannah hat would become. Hattingdon Horses really began with Curtis, Savannah and Star, and of course, Belle. They were our Fab Four in our early years.

Savannah Hattingdon.

The Savannah classic hat is created in the most luscious shade of lipstick pink with three white lilies dancing across the across the front. Simply sweet . . . . adorable.

Fashion Hat

Then there was Star.

Star Hattingdon.

Star Hattingdon wears a black cowboy hat with a blue hatband, and a white star.

Curtis launched Hattingdon Horses and will forever be an icon. However, from the moment of his appearance, Star became a superstar for oh so many years, and is still going strong today.

Aren’t they great? Sigh.
