Hat making is an art, a trade…

Damien has worked with his hands since he was young. While working in other trades and creating as an artisan through other mediums, Damien realized that his passion for hats could easily become another expression of his creativity, detail oriented mind, and flair for fashion.

Using his knowledge of trades, Damien became a self taught milliner, through experimentation and lots of trial and error. Every day, every hat, he views as another opportunity to become a true master of the craft of hat making.

For us, every hat is a work of art, and each one is unique. No hat is made twice - each one is a stand alone piece special to the wearer.
