Asher then and now

Hello!

Fall began officially on Saturday, September 23rd. We are watching and waiting for the gorgeous colours it brings. It is still a little too warm yet where we are.

We decided to go ahead and get into the spirit of things with two darling Fall inspired top hats. Hattingdon adores top hats.

First up is the original Asher top hat that Vivian created in 2008. How fun. Anyone remember this? We love the deep wine red she chose and the golden hatband. And all that leaf detailing! Wonderful.

Ten years later, Vivian decided to reimagine the Asher design, giving it a whole new look. The colours she chose are delicious. The rich golden yellow, vibrant orange and rich brown are wonderful together. What a stylish look!

Hope you enjoyed them, and they gave you “a hatful of smiles”. See you again here soon.

With love, Hattingdon & Co.

Etienne

First there was Curtis. Then there was Harper. And just before the arrival of the classic hat silhouette, there was Etienne.

Vivian decided to freshen up the Etienne hat . . . . just a little. It looks terrific, doesn’t it? There is something about the combination of red, white and blue.

Well. What do you think?

Oh, the name Etienne is, “A French variant of the Greek name Stephen meaning ‘garland, crown’.”

We love you and wish you a “hatful of smiles”. Stop by again soon. — Love, Hattingdon.

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.

Vivian’s Fave Hats: Letter R

Blog HattingdonLeave a comment

Here we are again all friends together. Is it your first time being here with us? Whether you have been with us for a long time, or just discovering us, we hope you will stay with us a bit and enjoy Hattingdon, and that she gives you a “hatful of smiles”.

We arrive today at the letter “R”, on a frosty morn here in Louisville, Kentucky.

Classic Hat

Vivian has always loved the classic hat silhouette and has had a lot of fun designing for it over the years. Today the classic hat she selected features a row of “targets” across the front in rotating colors of red, white and black.

We are not quite sure how she did that. It is a striking look though, isn’t it? We love it.

Fashion Hat

Now on to our fashion hat of the day. Design name Regina.

Vivian adores this hat. It has to be one of her all-time faves. Hmmm. It is more crown than hat. Well, never mind that. Here she is looking absolutely regal in her crown hat.

People of all ages love the Regina design, especially on tees and totes. Speaking of which, here is an update on shopping.

Shopping

We are still overhauling our shop and will be posting about it as soon as we reopen. It seems likely, at this moment anyway, it may be a few more weeks. Nothing about it is difficult, just so time consuming.

Thank you everyone who responded so we can provide you with what you want in the reopened shop.

Regards, Hattingdon & Co.
