About Her

Claudia’s designs blend natural elements, rich textures, and vibrant colors, each telling a unique story. Her dedication to creativity and craftsmanship ensures that every hat is more than just an accessory—it's a dream come true.

Claudia's love for millinery began by chance after watching the movie Slaves of New York. Inspired, she set out on a journey fueled by faith, passion, determination, and hard work. She started by learning all about the business, working in showrooms to understand wholesale and markets. This experience led her to a hat factory in Dallas, where she truly began her journey to becoming a 'mad hatter.'

Over nearly nine years, Claudia worked her way up from an assistant designer to the director of product development, collaborating with well-known brands like Stetson, Resistol, Charlie 1 Horse, and Dobbs. Finally, Claudia decided to take a chance on herself and start her own line of hats and accessories.

She invites you to join her on an artistic adventure. Each hat is a piece of her artistry, ready to add elegance and flair to your style. Claudia is now ready to share her dreams directly with you all, offering hats, accessories, and items that bring her joy.
