Mad as a Hatter

Heads were designed for hats. Although my head seems too big for any of the hats we currently have in stock (no jokes about my big head, thank you very much!)

So for a quick showing off of a select few, Andreea is our very own hat model.

Hat 1 -

This is a green riding hat from Christy's, but as it is not new we are only selling it as fancy dress, and we must be strict on that. FANCY DRESS only. £10.

Hat 2 -

Perfect for Ascot or a winter wedding, this cream feathered design is the only 'wedding' style we have in at the moment. £18.

Hat 3 -

This rain hat is by J.Crew and a M/L, so looks rather large for Andreea, but it will definitely keep you dry from the wet. £12.

Hat 4 -

A 60s feel to this Accessorize wool peaked hat. £6.

Finally
Hat 5 -

My favourite (as I have one like it, and yes it fits even my big head!) hat.
Wool/Acrylic mix, lined in faux fur. This will keep your ears warm! £6.


As we like to entertain and show of what we have learnt (googled) we shall explain the term, Mad as a Hatter. Are you sitting comfortably? Then we shall begin.
In 18th and 19th century England mercury was used when making felt, which was used to make hats of the time. People who worked in these hat factories were exposed daily to trace amounts of the metal, which accumulated within their bodies over time, causing some workers to develop dementia caused by mercury poisoning (called mad hatter syndrome).
So there we go.

Also if this talk of hatters has made you think of Alice in Wonderland, then snap!

I do love a good old Trailer... Bye for now BG
