Upcycled from found fabrics! I love sustainable fashion :)

This Mona Hat is made of beautiful crushed brown velvet. The reversible side is a dark brown fabric which is generally a bit warmer than my other styles of Mona Hats. This one also has a handmade fabric rose, made from cutting up a very dated top which was never going to see the light of day again.  (Surprise, top! You've been transformed into something lovely :) 

The additional cost on this hat reflects the woman power required to make the flower. It has a pin on the back so you can move it around. Even the pin is upcycled from my job, it may or may not have been featured in a motion picture... but not visibly of course.

You can wear this reversible hat either way you prefer or depending on your outfit. It has an additional detail which lets you choose how it's worn, you can fold the hat so you can see the underside of the fabric peeking out, or not. You decide.

Ornament the hat with a brooch or a flower pin on one side and reap the compliments. I started making these hats because I get a compliment nearly every time I wear one. Many people comment that it reminds them of 1920s style :)

This lovely hat measures 22 inches around. It does not stretch much. To avoid confusion, I'm not using hat sizes, only head sizes! Measure your head carefully around where you would want the base of the hat to fit. My head (the reluctant model in the photo) measures 22 inches, so as you can see in the photos, this is a good fit for me, but is not tight, there is a bit of wiggle room but I wuldn't choose this for a person measuring over 22.5 inches around.

The story of Mona Hats:

The Original Mona Hat (there are still some left, check my listings) is made of gorgeous brown and black brocade fabric which my legendary and very classy Aunt Mona gave me (because I could never reason buying $40/yard fabric, that's crazy.) so the Original Mona Hats are made in very limited quantities. 

All Mona Hats are made of found fabric, be it at thrift shop, clothing swap, an unwanted gift or otherwise, no new fabric is bought to make these. GO sustainability! 

Mona has since left this fine world of ours, so she will live on in our hearts and our hats!
