HANDMADE IN THE USA

Make an unforgettable impression with this romantic, dreamy occasion hat — a stunning blend of vintage glamour and modern sophistication. Inspired by the 1920s cloche style, this hat sits gracefully low on the head and is elevated by a beautifully dramatic wide brim that exudes elegance from every angle.

Whether you’re attending a winter wedding, a special event, or simply enjoying a stylish stroll downtown, this hat will keep you warm while turning heads wherever you go.

Expertly handmade from sturdy black velvet and fully lined in soft satin, this piece offers both comfort and luxury. The sculpted crown and wide, structured brim allow for natural movement and “stylability,” while unique open back adds an extra touch of refinement and comfort.

The Derby combines sun protection, warmth, and timeless style — perfect for the woman who appreciates artistry and individuality.

Every hat is handcrafted, making each one uniquely yours. If you’d like this design in another color or fabric, please reach out — I’m always happy to customize to your taste.

SIZE GUIDE

To find your perfect fit:

  1. Wrap a measuring tape around your head just above your eyebrows and over your ears.

  2. Make sure the tape sits over the fullest part of the back of your head.

  3. Keep it snug but not tight, a little wiggle room is a good thing.

  4. Measure two or three times for accuracy.

  • Small: 22½"

  • Medium: 23"

  • Large: 24"

Once more Kimberley has outdone herself with making something beautiful! My rain wristlet came in today and it is such a beautiful turquoise color. So happy will I be when others are shaking the water off themselves and I can continue on happily dry.

If you haven't given her a go yet, you need to try this lady out! You will not be disappointed as her attention to details plus customer service is spot on.

love, love, love it--the one with a green band, like the red one I had added to the fleece derby hat on my first order. Wore it on Christmas, talked into leaving it on during dinner by all of my admirers.
