Pronounced Ash-ling. Recently imported from Ireland, Aisling’s love for fashionable headwear began at the tender age of two with a penchant for wearing buckets where thankfully more sophisticated pieces now reside. Aisling is Edie Hats and Tart Boutique‘s resident blogger, writer and event organiser.
In a previous life she thinks she was Humphrey Bogart’s fedora.

Caitlin is a member of the sales team and a video editor at Edie Hats. She was born in Vancouver and got her love of hats from her father, a man who is rarely seen without a hat on his head. She is currently studying film production at UBC and plans on directing and screenwriting professionally. Her favorite hat is the fedora, as they put her in mind of black and white films of the Old Hollywood era.

Some people say Daryl-Lynn is the coolest person ever. Why? Because not only is she studying animation and selling gorgeous hats everyday, she’s also from the East Coast which gives her 20 extra cool points. Her love for hats has turned into an obsession and she’s determined to wear a different one every day. When asked what her favorite hat is, she can’t decide between an adorable 20′s cloche or a rugged leather Barmah. She loves dancing around the store to Stompin’ Tom and isn’t afraid to put every single last hat in the store on your head, as long as you leave happy.
Style and good taste run in this Frenchman’s blood, he knows how to match a belt with shoes and can tie a knot in 48 different ways (something we have yet to verify!). Waking up one morning he decided to see if the grass was indeed greener on the other side of the fence, or in his case the ocean. He took the plunge across the sea where he discovered Edie Hats and hataholism, but with a childhood habit of stealing his grandfathers driver, maybe it was in his blood too all along!
If Mary had been born in the 40′s she just might have been a silver screen starlet – red lipstick, dressed to the nines and with a delicious hat perched saucily over one brooding eye… Instead, she made the best of being a modern woman – acting her way through Canada, France and Italy before serendipitously finding her way to Edie Hats where she lives her dream of old-school glamour every day in some little veiled number. You’ll find her out on the floor, singing her way through heaps of hats, playing dress-up and she just may plop a furfelt fedora or a curled-up cloche on your head!
The youngest Cast member at Edie Hats but also one of the oldest, Mary has been here for many years. Upbeat and friendly, Mary has a way of keeping you entertained while finding the perfect hat for your noggin. Maybe it’s the music or maybe it’s her five years training as a dancer but she is rarely seen standing still! Always the first to offer help, Mary volunteers at the Red Cross when she is not counting down the days ’till she finishes school!
Nicole is a proud West coast gal born and raised in the beautiful Vancouver. With a quirky but classic style you can expect to see her in anything from an elegant fascinator to a colorful deer stalker, always matching whatever strange but fabulous vintage frock she has on. With a love of dance you just might catch her spontaneously breaking out into a jig as she plops a hat on a bystanders head. Her favorite hat is a black fur felt fedora; from wide to short brims and high to low crowns. With a great eye for matching hats with heads you just might walk out the door with whatever she has lands on you!
Rachelle is Edie Hats and Tart Boutique’s Operations Manager. Hailing from the smallest American state, this Rhode Islander infuses her colleagues with her personal motto of “Be present and live with intention”. In her own words, “I’m so efficient sometimes I surprise myself”. This comes as no surprise to her colleagues as Rachelle manages to be the arms, legs, fingers and toes of the company.
Self proclaimed art nerd, Sarah is the newest addition to the Edie Hats team. Hats first donned her head during mud puddle season when she and the boy next door would spend all day wearing buckets on their heads (colour coordinated, of course). Hailing from a rather large-headed family herself, Sarah is the girl to go to for fitting those big brained noggins out there! Ask her about the time she jumped off a 100ft waterfall, or went face to face with a bull and lost!
Favourite hat? Anything Lillie & Cohoe, of course!
