Bunny Huggins Hats

I have always loved the idea of wearing a hat. Living in a wet climate it can be a good accessory to every outfit second only to a fabulous umbrella. Though I have many fabulous umbrellas, hats have always escaped me, never looking right or having the right fit. Then I met Bunny Huggins, was introduced to her Fidel style cap and now I can't wait for hat season.

One of my favorite things about a Bunny Huggins hat is they fit softly on your head, so you never feel like your brain is being squished, it is comfortable to wear all day and sometimes you forget you have it on. It's also pretty awesome that all Bunny Huggins hats are reversible. Yes, you don't just get one uniquely funky and flattering hat, you get two! Your accountant would be so impressed. Since all of Bunny's hats are handmade by Bunny in Portland, from reclaimed & vintage materials, no two hats are alike. I really like the fact that my hat is mine and I won't see another one like it out there. I wish I were more crafty and DIY like Bunny, but since I'm not, I'm glad there are spunky creative people like Bunny out there who are honing the are art of handcrafted goods.

Pie Footwear carries Bunny Huggins hats for all sizes. No head is too big or too small.

Bunny is a local Jill-of-all trades who has a MFA in Metalsmithing and a shop with more tools than you can swing a dead cat at, she's been crafting metal for as long as Sonic Youth has been making records. Her current incarnation is a designer and fabricator of apparel & jewelry for the hip and style conscious person. Above all Bunny is committed to a sustainable lifestyle, using recycled and vintage materials for her crafts.
