I’ve made a new pattern this week. It was a 1928 fashion illustration that inspired me to make this new cloche. It has half-moon shaped sections on the top and an asymmetrical brim. I’ve made it so that it can also be worn back to front for a different style. The bow version makes it even cuter in my opinion, but then again, I LOVE BOWS! A few are already available from my eBay shop, but you can also get one custom-made if you email me.
I’ve found some gorgeous fair trade and organic cotton fabrics from the Fair Trade Fabric Company to make these new hats. I’ve always been one for recycling clothes and fabrics, sourcing from and giving as much as possible to charity shops… Also I find the success of fashion with conscience ethical brand People Tree very encouraging and inspiring. Therefore I’ve decided to make an Anna Chocola Fair Trade & Organic Range.
If you’d like any other of my hats in any other fabric from the Fair Trade fabric Company, please get in touch. I’ll order the fabric and make the hat to your requirements.
Hopefully my customers will support the idea and this initial mini-collection will grow into a bigger one! Please visit my eBay shop.
I’ve been adding to my collection of Anna Chocola pillbox hats this week. I’ve improved my stiffening technique and made these really lush headpieces. Birdcage veiling seems to be a must for my burlesque & rockabilly customers, so I’ve stitched some nice large pieces of net to partially cover the face. Each one is unique, as always, and can be purchased from my eBay shop!
I’ve had to make a few more Anna Chocola Hoody-Scarves as the first batch had sold out so quickly!
Available from my eBay shop or made to order!
This week I made my first man’s hat for my friend’s birthday, a denim fedora with a Prince-of-Wales check band. I also made this very girly beaded pillbox hat with veiling to go to his party! ( More pillbox hats are available from my eBay shop )
To order any of these hats to your requirements, please contact me!
