hat design – Hattingdon

Hello there. Wow, is it Friday afternoon already? While taking a break, we decided to do a quick Flashback Friday post.

We love this hat! It is called ‘Veda’.

The Veda hat goes waaaaaaaaay back. The scale of this hat is so large you cannot see Hattingdon’s ears!

The name? “The name Veda is primarily a gender-neutral name of Indian origin that means Eternal Knowledge”, writes babynames.com. Another baby naming site states that “Veda is a girl’s name of Sanskrit, Hungarian, and Turkish origin. In Sanskrit and Hungarian Veda means ‘knowledge’”.

Well, Hattingdon has plenty of room in her big ol’ Veda hat to stash just about anything, including loads and loads of knowledge. Instead she is probably fantasizing about a new hat!

Happy Friday. Have a great weekend.

Mrs Farrell, the creator of Hattingdon® Horses, has made many, many hats for the popular cartoon equines over the years — hundreds of them. Amazingly she never seems to run out of ideas. The ones that are shall we say — a bit “extraordinary” — always seem to be her favourites. Here is an example.

At the beginning of last year, Farrell opened Photoshop, selected one of her basic templates, and began adding layers of lines and boxes and rectangles until she had what you see below.

Hattingdon wears a Japanese and art deco inspired black and white headdress. — *Kimora*.

It has a sort of Deco / Japanese flavor to it, doesn’t it?

See you again soon!

P.S. Wondering about the name Kimora? Combining Kimberly and Ora, it has American origins and means “the golden meadow.” This stylish name is shared with American model and designer Kimora Lee Simmons, who founded the Baby Phat clothing line. Source.
