The HAT archive opens the door to the world of ‘HATS’ exploring, learning and understanding how all those involved, from small milliners to international manufacturers, from designers, buyers and retailers work together to bring this crafted accessory ‘to your door’. The archive contains a fascinating snapshot of a worldwide industry as it worked, for over 18 years from 1999 to 2017, throughout the renaissance of the couture milliner and the demise of the large hat manufacturer.
