A few months ago I was lucky enough to have the amazing Saffron Sprackling from Republica come to visit me in my studio.
Saffron & I had chatted on the phone before she came in, so I had a rough idea of what she wanted. As you are all aware red & black are her signature colours; so that was easy to decide on!
Saffron tried on this hat and the size was perfect for her; both of us loved the assymetrical brim on her too. We liked that it was a traditional hat with a qiurky edge to it.
I made Saffron’s hat in black felt and we rounded the crown of it too, to give a softer feel. I then added a red band, giving a flash of her trade mark colour. And at first this hat also had 2 pom poms, like the original blue design, but it just didn’t seem to work as well….so we went for a black rose instead.
Here are my shots of it on my iphone in my studio, before I sent it to Saffron.
And finally here is the awesome woman herself in the hat! She sent me these pictures last week. How incredible are these photo’s? 🙂
