Lisa in her Nolita Boutique
Since I was a girl I always enjoyed sewing and making things for myself. After graduating from Mount Holyoke College with a B.A. in Fine Art, I studied Millinery with Ann Albrezio at New York City's Fashion Institute of Technology. Soon after I completed my degree I found myself with a Women's and Children's hat line selling to such stores as Barney's, Henry Bendel and Fred Segal among others. But my dream was always to have a store of my own. In 1998 that dream was fulfilled when I opened my own boutique in Nolita, New York City.

I have learned a great deal in the seven years that I have had the store, and eighteen years that I have been in business. I have strived for excellence in fit and design, always remaining true to my inner voice. I feel satisfied that my work is well executed and inspires others to take fashion risks in a way that makes them feel better about themselves. I get many ideas from my customers, who come from all over the world to buy my product. A typical customer may be a schoolteacher, costume designer, professional athlete, architect, writer, artist or accountant. Some of the celebrities that have purchased my work include Clare Danes, Audrey Tautou, and Reuben Santiago Hudson.

The items found in the online store of this website are the styles that are most often chosen by my customers. They are designed with your comfort in mind and manufactured with love.

Thank you for shopping here! I would like to invite you to visit my New York boutique where I am always working on something new. There is a larger range of handcrafted and one-of -a kind products you will not find in the online store. Many of these may be custom ordered.

I look forward to meeting you!

 

Mission Statement

232 Mulberry St., NYC 10012
Store Sign
Our mission is to create hats that are good looking, well designed and long lasting. We feel that putting on the right hat is like putting on that special pair of well worn jeans-comfy, versatile and endlessly chic. A great deal of energy and time goes into solving specific problems for our customers. The fit, feel and number of ways a hat can be worn are all considerations in the design process. We hope you enjoy our hats and that they will inspire your creativity.
