Kentucky Derby Hats make heads turn!

East Angel Harbor’s “Crystal Fairy” Hats that come in a wide variety of colors are a popular choice for your Kentucky Derby hat! 

www.eastangelharbor.com

My Crystal Fairy hats are a perfect choice for your derby hat.  You don’t have to put it on a shelf and save it until another derby party.  It can be used again to wear to a Victorian tea party, Easter Hat and even a wedding hat.  It’s airy and comfortable and the tulle can be cut to any length…it can even be designed with and extra feather instead of tulle.  It’s very elegant and has a wide enough brim to shade you from the sun on Kentucky Derby day!  It’s also designed in pink, so it can be a perfect hat for The Oaks ~ the race held on Friday before the Derby.

The “Crystal Fairy” hats are designed over designer horsehair and they’re very comfortable and cool to wear.  The crown is accented with my signature organza lace with sequins and pearls.  Beautiful silk rose/roses accent the lace.  The brim is 18 inches in diameter, which allows for a nice sized brim for any occasion.

Julie at the Kentucky Derby


Dreaming up a new design


This is a custom design Kentucky Derby hat order for Julie.  When I’m designing a hat that I know is going to the Kentucky Derby, I just hope that it will get noticed.  This was one that did and Julie looked beautiful wearing it!
Julie sent me pics of her outfit and after several emails and phone calls, we decided on the design.  The final result was a taupe sinamay hat, creamy golden silk, an array of feathers and a glitzy rhinestone butterfly accenting the silk bow.

Kentucky Derby Hat = Glitz and Glamour!

Glitz and Glamour are in!

I’ve always chosen the more traditional Edwardian hat designs. It’s not that I’m playing it safe, I just love the look and feel of wool, sinamay and feathers!  I also love traditional designs of the Edwardian Era.  I’ve studied many catalogs, as well as millinery publications and quite honestly, I haven’t found a lot in the glitzy colors of gold or silver.  However, this spring, I’m breaking with tradition and plan on offering several “One of a Kind” gold and silver Edwardian style designs that will be beautiful for Downton Abbey events as well as glamorous for your Kentucky Derby hat.
I’m presenting my first design “Cleopatra”
Gold Hat 001
This hat is available for sale in my shop: East Angel Harbor Hats
May 6-7, 2016 are the dates for the Oaks and Kentucky Derby this year.  I’ll be busy between now and then creating new designs and taking custom design orders.
