Flashback Friday with Whitney

Whitney Hattingdon blog banner for post.

These are such lovely hats and some of our most popular. Hattingdon looks wonderful in them.Vivian first created the Whitney hat in 2016. It was an immediate hit. Then she reimagined it a couple of years later — in 2018. From first to last, these designs have been an all time top favorite, Let’s take a look.

Whitney the First

Here is the first Whitney design. It has a sort of safari thing going on. Oh. Vivian designed a butterfly to go with it. Lovely.

The Whitney design above became very popular very quickly. Several years later, Vivian reimagined the Whitney hat, and wow. A superstar was born.

Whitney the Second

Isn’t she lovely? This design has never moved out of the top ten most popular Hattingdon designs of all time. We hope you enjoyed seeing her again, and she brings you a “hatful of smiles”.

Vivian’s Fave Hats: U V W

This has been an amazing project. We have one more post following this one, and that will complete the alphabet.

Again, Vivian has selected some very pretty headwear for us today. There is a bonus hat too. Let’s go!

Classic Hat

This hat is stunning. The colour combination is so chic, and we love the safari vibe.

Fashion Hat

This hat was created in July 2016 and is in the top twenty all-time most popular hats. It may even be in the top ten, which is amazing. Hattingdon has 100s of hats now, so there is a lot more competition.

That butterfly is still mesmerized by the button.

Bonus Hat

This hat hardly ever gets an outing and it is so darling and fun. It is goes way back to Vivian’s earliest days. It was so long ago she cannot remember the year. A good possible guess is 2010.

Vivian named the hat Vita. Vita is a feminine name derived from the Latin word meaning life. If this hat does not give you a “hatful of smiles”, nothing will.

Where does she come up with these ideas? Hattingdon looks good in green doesnt she?

See you back here tomorrow with Vivian’s final picks.
