There seems to be some hats being crafted onto something OUTRAGOUS, GLORIOUS and RIDICULOUS all at once! 🎩🎓🥳🎩
It's been a while my friends, and thanks for hanging on in there. Sometimes you've just got to trust the creative process and know that you'll find your flow again in one direction or the other.
It seems to be flowing this way for now...
Will keep you posted 👌✨️

'Voila!'
I jumped for joy when I saw this pre-loved hat ready to be scooped up in the local op-shop.
It has such a unique style. The details have now been highlighted with sequins and given a red-feathered POP 🔥
'Voila!' is ready to be tried on and whisked away to a new home.
'Mozart'
Thats right, your eyes do not deceive you. That's a wig, on a hat.
A wig on a hat?!?! Too wild for some. Just wild enough for the others.
Made with upcycled materials, including little blue bird earrings to add just that bit of extra pizzazz 🌟
Part of summer 2023/24 collection, to be found on a dancefloor next to you...

✨️Creative flow ✨️
I've noticed that when I'm in the flow of creativity (phone is on silent, glue gun is smoking, sequins are flying) my mind is spacious. I am able to work through challenges and problem solve like a pro 👌
Keeping my journal close by to jot down any ponderings has become a regular practice.
Creativity 🔁 Flow 🔁 Space making through Journaling 🔁 Space for more creativity
✨️What an epic Sparkle Safari that was!! ✨️
Had to keep eating crisps to stop our jaw dropping at World of WearableArt (WOW), it was that good 🚀
Inspired and ready to hat, hat, hat, hat hat 🎩🎓🧢
⚡️Flashback to London last year⚡️
The Drop of a Hat team are overdue a Sparkle Safari. Luckily we have one coming up this weekend in Wellington for the show!!
🎠🌟 Sparkle Safari 🌟🎠 definition under business plan, section 2.8;
'A galavanting jaunt, together, with the purpose of sourcing materials, inspiration or nonesense-making-banter all for the benefit of our hat creations and the heads they adorn'
Walking into a store in San Francisco and the storekeeper is giving me the beady eye. She looks me up and down with a mischievous squint then insists that there is a hat that is just my style and colours that I HAVE TO try!
.....of course I indulge her 😉
Check out these beauts found in a charity shop in Plymouth, UK.
It brings the Drop of a Hat creators such joy to hunt down epic, unique and quirky hats like these in the far flung corners of the globe 🌏🧢🎩
We can't wait to upcylce these treasures into something outrageously fabulous for New Zealand festival season 🌟
Flashback to 2023 when it was sunny, warm and dancing unicorns 🦄 🏴☠️
🔥Drop of a Hat at AfrikaBurn 🔥
🌟We can't be prouder when one of our hats is worn to accessorize a look as epic as this! 🌟
This exquisite one-of-a-kind hat was designed and created for it's journey to AfrikaBurn, South Africa's Burning Man. It's colours were chosen especially for this friend's style.
With discreet lights for when that burning sun goes down ✨️
For us females, our monthly cycles give us the opportunity to be 🌟EPIC🌟 at certain things at certain times, depending on what our hormones are up to.
For example, right now I'm being HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL at putting my feet up and admiring my recent creative endeavors 🎩🎓🧢👒
Being a female-led business means we can sink right into honoring our phases and acknowledge that this too is being ✨️PRODUCTIVE ✨️
✨️✨️✨️IN ORDER TO CREATE, WE FIRST NEED TO REST✨️✨️✨️

“Mademoiselle bell” - $170
This original vintage cloche hat appears to have German origins (see label). On the small side, she is designed to sit high on the head in the stylish cloche style popular in the early 20th century. With subtle embellishments made from upcycled jewellery, she has been re-imagined 100 years on and still has many golden years ahead of her.
If only she could talk, I’m sure she’d have some great stories to tell.
PM for details. Will be available to try on and purchase at Earthbeat festival 23-26 March.
“Summer solstice” - $100
One for the colour lovers, this eye catching sun hat is ready to find the head it was made for and go on some colourful adventures.
PM for details. Will be available to try on and purchase at Earthbeat festival 23-26 March.
