This is a beautifully embellished pirate hat from Hats by Violette. It is 100% pure navy wool in a tricorn style that has antique silver and burgundy trim. It is finished off with a feather and fleur de lis pin. This would be the cherry on top of your pirate outfit....arrrgh!!
For the many years that I have been attending Renaissance Faires, the one thing that is consistently missing for me is headwear! I'm not sure if I'm just not confident enough to try a hat or if I haven't found the right one, but Hats by Violette may help me make up my mind.
Kristin Rupprecht is the woman behind Hats by Violette, and she has been sewing since she was 8 years old! Over the years she has been involved in community theater and historical costuming. Additionally, she has participated in Renaissance Faires, of course, making her own costumes. After years of receiving compliments on her creations, she decided to start her own business of custom embellished hats. She starts all of her designs with a 100% wool hat and then adds trim, feathers, ribbons and many other details to create one-of-a-kind merchandise. All of the gorgeous details are either hand-sewn or machine stitched, she uses no glue. She loves to create and will be glad to take custom orders. Kristin has many styles of hats ranging from miniature and tricorn to cavalier style, she recently completed a custom silk bridal hat that is gorgeous!
You can see her full line of products at her Etsy store, website and on Facebook. Check her schedule and see which Faire she will be at next. Here is Kristin with two very happy customers!!
