Always have to stop in the hat store - it's a rite of passage! This time I didn't find anything to purchase. I was intent on finding a replacement pair of mittens for our granddaughter, but they didn't have anything in the right color scheme. They were down to dark colors, and she's into pink these days. The staff members were friendly and welcoming on a holiday when they might have preferred being somewhere else. I took a look at the "No Headache" visors which I like to wear, but wasn't enticed by the current colors/pattens they have in stock. I'll be back the next time, and hopefully something colorful and flattering will catch my eye. Always worth a browsing session!

I just loved the feel of this unassuming shop from the moment I walked in. You can immediately…read moretell that John, the owner, has lived hats for decades, and really knows his craft. I needed to revitalize a treasured hat and John steamed it and brought it back to life for a tiny fraction of what I thought it would cost. He also gave a very rapid turn-around time. In addition, John was very careful to clearly explain what he would do with the hat so I would understand the process. Knowing nothing about hats, I very much appreciated his explanations. I came across town to patronize this shop -- and I'd do it again. The quality of work and its value was well-worth it! Finally, parking can be a nightmare in Santa Monica but it was no problem for this shop. One time a spot wasn't immediatley available and by the time I drove around the block, one had opened up. Thanks, John and Fedora Primo -- my hat looks fantastic again!

Upon a closer look, these hats appear to be of high quality and very unique. I didn't purchase anything because there was no salesperson around during business hours, not a soul and no sign indicating they are out to lunch or will be back. Love hats, they are useful, functional and fashionable. I was interested in a couple of hats, hanging on display but I didn't want to touch anything, I waited for about 5 minutes and called out 'Hello?? Is anyone here? and all I heard were the malibu ocean waves and crickets lol I googled the hat shop and learned this is one of the many shops that had opened, with others located in: Brooklyn, Laguna Beach, Palm Springs and now here in Malibu with a shop opening in Nashville. Each hat is handmade customized to the wearer, so Unique, using high quality materials and priced accordingly $$$$ Shop also showcases accessories to go with the hat. Very cool hats worth an appreciation...but I need more info before I invest in these hats...where's the salesperson??
