Hattie Bags was birthed out of a utilitarian idea. I had an old pill box style hat turned upside down in my closet that collected the jewelry I would take on and off every day. It was stiff, bright blue, adorned with metallic threading, beading and jewels. It was a really pretty vintage Neiman Marcus find that I found. One day I was picking it up to clean the shelf and grabbed it like a clutch and the idea popped in my head that it almost looks like a clutch purse.....hence the birth of Hattie Bags. The name Hattie is borrowed and shared with one of my daughters and the fact that the purse starts out as a "hat"....well I think you get the picture. Then the quest to find great condition, designer and unique looking hats became the norm as I scavenged estate sales and antique stores. Only the best ones will do. Great for parties, proms, weddings and afternoon tea parties if anyone ever has those anymore. I hope you will enjoy these one of a kind creations. Depending on what I have to pay for the hats depends on their pricing. I keep the original labels when I can and add my own to create each Hattie Bag. Enjoy!
