I Love Hats Because?: Apart from being a timeless way to pull together a look; I love hats because they can be as expressive or discreet as fits your personality! Your mood changes with the hat you're wearing- very few accessories or garments share such an intimate relationship with both the wearer and the observer of a fine hat.

About Me: Based in Chicago, Sarah Haley Design & Millinery specializes in one of a kind women's hats that aren't just for the Derby!

A graduate from Columbia College in Chicago with years of apprenticeship under some of the city's finest couture Milliners, Sarah crafts every hat by hand from concept to final stitch- no two hats are the same!
