A quick glance around Edie Hats or Tart Boutique and one cannot miss the Mini Top Hats perched around the general fabulousness. 

They range in levels of extravagance, from simple fascinators and whimsical straw pieces to exquisite, elaborate felt pieces with veiling, feathers and ribbons. 

The Top Hat has always been associated with finery and elegance. Originally a symbol of wealth and high status, today the daily formal wearing of a Top Hat is considered excessive. However, in Pop culture it is a Hat that has re-invented itself to retain its place as a fashion icon.

British milliner Stephen Jones is largely responsible reviving this hat to suit modern tastes. He created a fun alternative to the original. By making the hats miniature and adding sparkle, feathers, veils and bows he turned the style on its head (pun intended!) making it a hat for women. His creations quickly became an extraordinary hit and are now a perennial favorite among England’s fashionable elite and are a fun stable at any formal event. 

The appeal of these hats is layered. They are formal yet playful, modern yet classic. We love them for the delight people get from trying them on and for the satisfaction fashionistas get from knowing the right dress to match them with!
