Mariel

Living close to the sea inspired this creation. Mariel is a brocade top hat in dark lilacs and gold. The fabric looks like it has fish scales, hence the theme we chose as it reminded us of mermaids. Pieces were collected from the beach, others were crafted from clay and painted. This creation is fully lined with velour and embellished with braids, ribbons, tulle and glass beads. We feel this hat may be better used as an amazing ornamental piece as it is rather delicate in nature.

***HOW TO WEAR YOUR HAT***

The smaller hats are held on the head by an elastic tape, which is worn around the back of the head to the nape of the neck and hidden beneath your hair (my preferred way). Also some have two hidden braid 'loops' to secure a head band (included one size) hair band and or a hat comb. Pins or grips (not included) are useful too. Hatinators are lightweight, easily positioned and secured at your most comfortable angle!

We hope you enjoy wearing your creation as much as we enjoyed making it!
