Sarah Havens

Hats create a sense of mystery that our culture craves and misses.

Sarah is available to design and construct custom hand-made hats that suit your style for any special occasion or everyday wear.

Sarah Havens has been making hats for 20 years for professional theatre companies, but has opened a studio to create her own line of fashionable hats. All her hats are hand-made and start as shapeless felt or straw hoods. Sarah uses antique hat blocks to ensure the authenticity of the traditional designs she works with. She hand-sews trim pieces, hat bands, feathers, antique broaches, fine garment leather and other pieces to complete the one-of-a-kind pieces.

Sarah's inspiration evolves out of work she has created for the stage, ranging from the whimsical, to special occasion head wear, to the classical millinery styles that can be worn every day. She has created her own line of original fashionable hats, while still offering traditional styles such as straw, fur or felt top hats, fedoras and straw boaters. She offers similar hats for women with a feminine flair. The classic look of these hats endure not only because of their lasting impact of fashion history, but the purity, simplicity and beauty of their forms.

Hats create a sense of mystery that our culture craves and misses. We adorn ourselves to attract attention to make a statement about who we are. This mystic display of fashionable men and women desire in social crowds is what drives her to design a hat that looks ideal on you, one that will reflect your identity. Your first impression is always important, why not make it a lasting impression by wearing the perfect hat? The hat can complete any outfit!
