Our latest family piece

Under the Sea

Under the Sea is the latest hat we’ve made for our daughter, inspired by her class name this year: Starfish.

A gift for a friend

A hat of his own

A school friend loved our daughter’s hat so much that he kept taking it. So we made him one of his own.

An example to spark an idea

Penguin

Colour in every direction.

A dotted penguin takes centre stage on the crown. Around it, bright circles, waves and personal details travel across the hat, with more to discover beneath the brim.

These five views show the same hat. Explore the details, then use Penguin as a starting point for a conversation about your own commission.

A personal family piece

Puffin

Little favourites, close to home.

Puffin came next, named after our daughter’s school class and featuring two of her favourite characters, Baby Shark and Simon’s Cat.

Made for her, it brings fine multicoloured dot patterns together with familiar faces. For your own commission, we can explore an original design around your colours, interests and ideas.

The hat that started it all

Summertime

One splash. A whole new beginning.

Summertime began when our daughter accidentally got paint on her hat. We turned the paint mark into a flower, then kept going. It became the hat that started our family’s exploration of decorated hats.

Bright flowers, spirals and colour grew from that small beginning. What might your starting point be?

Your hat, your starting point

From a passing thought
to something personal.

  1. 01

    A hat. An idea.

    Bring a hat you already love, or ask us to source one. Any style can be discussed; its material and condition will help us decide what is possible.

  2. 02

    Make it personal.

    A detailed brief or just a starting thought. We can talk through colours, motifs, themes and the little personal details that matter to you.

  3. 03

    Agree the details.

    Every commission is quoted individually. Tell us about any date you have in mind. UK-wide enquiries are welcome, and international delivery arrangements and costs can be discussed and agreed individually.

Let’s see where an idea takes us

Something that feels like you.

Start with as much or as little detail as you like. Tell us whether you have a hat or would like one sourced, and share any date and delivery country you have in mind.
