Hattingdon looks absolutely stunning in a gorgeous green and black fashion hat decorated with two very charming poinsettias. We named the hat “Chrissie”.

This is a very, very popular hat. It may very well may turn out to be the fan favourite this Christmas. We will see. It is very pretty isn’t it?
Hope this finds you well, and Hattingdon’s Christmas toppers are bringing you “a hatful of smiles”.
Hello there! We are staying with the classic hat silhouette for a bit since the classic hat countdown brought such a lot of new interest.

Can’t you just see some of these designs on merchandise and sold at Target? How cool would that be? Alas, it’s all just a bit of fun. We thought you might get a kick out of seeing it, though. Which one(s) would you pick?
After about a year or two of making hats for Hattingdon, Mrs Farrell created a basic hat silhouette and began designing for it. It came to be called the “classic hat.” They were immediately popular, building up a large and dedicated fanbase that is still going strong today, more than a dozen years later.
As voted by the Hattingdon Classic Hat Club, in reverse order, here are their top ten favourite classic hats of all time.

They have done a good job.

Thank you for stopping by here with us, and come back soon!
Hattingdon is off to the cinema to take in a movie. And she has the “picture perfect” hat to wear. It is a novelty hat based on popcorn, the kind you get at the movies in a red and white striped box.
Zea Popcorn Hat.
This is a recreated version of the first one made by Hattingdon’s hatmaker, Mrs Farrell. She chose the name Zea which is part of the classification name for the type of maize that popcorn is made from.
Don’t you just love it when you come across something delightful you forgot you had? Well, that is what happened with the Veda hat. Vivian must have created this very early on. I love a dramatic silhouette when it comes to hats, don’t you?

This hat is a gorgeous green, kind of Fall-ish. Yet I still want to wear summery colours — because it is still so warm. In the high 70’s most days. And the leaves have not even begun to change, which I miss very, very much. Maybe we will have a late but long Fall and a short winter.
