Vivian’s Fave Hats: Letter Q

Greetings. We are almost in the homestretch. Only five more posts left in the series after this one. Even though it has been a lot of fun . . . . HOORAY!

As we mentioned, Vivian had only one hat design whose name began with the letter Q — out of all the 100s of designs she has created over the past 13, 14 or more years. Can you guess who it is? You “long timers” might know. (Hint: It is a fashion hat with a nautical theme).

Classic Hat

Since the one “Q” hat we had is a fashion hat, Vivian had to get busy creating a brand new classic hat. Wow, did she do a lovely job. She named the hat Quill. How fab is this hat?

Vivian found the name Quill on one of those online baby name sites. You know the ones expectant mothers use to help find a cool and meaningful name for their baby? She certainly would never have thought of Quill as a possible name on her own.

Fashion Hat

Ahoy! Here is our solitary hat with a name that starts with the letter Q — a sweetheart hat (as Vivian calls this silhouette). As you can see, it is nautically inspired. Vivian named the hat Quinn.

Description: Quinn Hattingdon wears a nautically inspired sweetheart hat in a bold, dark navy blue. The hat’s wide, large, upturned brim is trimmed in red and white, and held in place by a large white anchor.

Five to Go

We have five days remaining, and ten hats. It will go like this:

Monday 23: Letter R
Tuesday 24: Letter S
Wednesday 25: Letter T
Thursday 26: Letters U, V, W
Friday 27: Letters X, Y, Z

Thank you everyone for following along with us. And a BIG thank you to everyone who has been helping Vivian with this project. You are all stars and have done a fabulous job.

Vivian’s Fave Hats: Letter F

Greetings and salutations.

Hattingdon had a fashion hat beginning with the letter “F” named Fleur, but not a single classic hat. Then Vivian discovered that the artwork for the fashion hat is . . . gone! Where to, who by, who knows.

Vivian saw this an opportunity to have some creative fun. She decided to reimagine the Fleur design — both as a classic hat and a fashion hat. They are colorful, fun and quite stylish. We trust you will agree. Look!

On to the fashion hat, which is equally scrumptious.

Instead of featuring the blossom as a pattern, Vivian used as an adornment. Here she is.

We hope you love them as much as we do.

Vivian’s Fave Hats: Letter B

At our behest, Hattingdon creator Vivian Grant is going through the alphabet, picking out her favourite classic and fashion hat designs. Today it is the letter “B”. Let’s go!

Classic

This is a very smart look. It is has always been very popular. Its simplicity makes it so chic. Vivian named the hat Becky.

Fashion

Aside from Curtis, who is arguably the most beloved of all Hattingdon designs, this design is an all-time, top tier favourite. Is she, or is she not . . . darling? Sigh!

That wraps it up. We will see you back here tomorrow with more selections.

Classic Savannah

Greetings and salutations. Here is this week’s featured classic hat.

It is one of Hattingdon very earliest classic hats, and a particular favorite of Hattingdon creator Vivian, whose birthday it happens to be today.

Hattingdon is always so pretty in pink.
