Our Mission

At The Girl with a Hat, our mission is to empower our clients with millinery knowledge and style guidance, helping them embrace confidence, elegance, and self-expression through the art of hat-making. We believe a hat is more than an accessory—it’s a statement, a signature, a reflection of personality.

Our Commitment to Slow Fashion

We believe that true luxury takes time. That’s why we embrace Slow Fashion—a thoughtful approach to hat-making that respects people, the environment, and craftsmanship.

Every piece is meticulously designed, with an emphasis on quality, sustainability, and artistry. Instead of mass production, we focus on limited, handcrafted collections that celebrate individuality and heritage techniques.

Our Savoir-Faire:

The Craft of Hat-Making

We carefully select our designers and artisans, ensuring that their values align with ours—heritage craftsmanship, ethical production, and artistic excellence.

For example, many of our French designers hold the prestigious Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) certification—a recognition awarded by the French government for exceptional traditional craftsmanship and industry expertise.

The EPV label: a synonym of French excellence. Crafts and trades promoted by the EPV label
