MAKINS ARE IN!

this one we call Rum Raisin...
Raisin Velour with tonal Grosgrain edge and Silk Three Pleat Bow;
did I mention this was custom made for us by Makins?

MAKINS HATS
was started by Marsha Akins in 1974 in her one room, 4th floor, walk-up apartment in New York City's East Village. Using a Jiffy Steamer, she molded the raw hat bodies over her own specially designed wood blocks and then baked the hats dry in the oven in her apartment before trimming them. Now, more than 36 years later and in her 3rd factory, Makins Hats is a family run business still making hats by hand. We are honored to offer you Makins Hats custom made for SALMAGUNDI!

meet
the
Duchess...

we thought this one by Makins was so keen we named it Check Mate!
and a smart gal she was; she was scooped up the 1st day she hit the floor!
I thought I would post the photo anyway;
what a vision in emerald green velour with all the trimmings!
