“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?

Hello there. Vivian whipped up a new classic hat design and called it Splash. It is inspired by the work of renown creative artist Jackson Pollock. She recently renamed the design Jackie Splash in honour of Mr Pollock. You can use either one.
Vivian has always been a huge Pollock fan. Take a look at some of the the work of this fascinating artist.
Jackson Pollock
Jackson Pollock was an influential American painter, and the leading force behind the abstract expressionist movement in the art world. During his lifetime, Pollock enjoyed considerable fame and notoriety.
Jackson Pollock’s greatness lies in developing one of the most radical abstract styles in the history of modern art, detaching line from color, redefining the categories of drawing and painting, and finding new means to describe pictorial space.
Even more than a century since his birth, American “splatter artist” Jackson Pollock still provokes heated debate about the very definition of art. Was a man who placed a canvas on the floor and dripped paint straight from the can actually creating a work of art? Watch WBUR.org »
Here are a few examples from this exciting, groundbreaking artist. The first is Vivian’s all-time favourite.
We didn’t think Hattingdon would have a hat for National Umbrella Day . . . . then we came across this. What a hoot! The design has been updated and renamed Splash.

The Umbrella
The umbrella’s origins can be traced back more than 3,000 years to China, Egypt, and other ancient civilizations. It was first developed as protection from the sun and was a symbol of status, held by servants over royalty and others of high rank. Feathers, leaves, paper, and silk were all used as coverings, some of which were oiled or varnished to make them waterproof. The ribs were originally made from cane, and later, whalebone, but in the 1800s, steel began to be used for the ribs and oilcloth for the covering, which made the umbrella much stronger.
