The Saucy Milliner 'Blake Fedora' as created for 'A Simple Favor'
A bold-crowned fedora with a sweeping, dramatic brim, bring an extra helping of panache to this best-selling, Saucy Milliner couture design, as created for the movie, 'A Simple Favor', and worn by gorgeous Blake Lively in her character's dramatic reveal scene.
Clients love wearing The Blake Fedora, with several of them owning it in Black and Bordeaux, as well - two other colours I make it in. I get regular reports of compliments received and the confidence boosting magic that comes with wearing a hat that you feel great in!
The bold, 5" crown is tempered by the two, hand cut, lambskin straps, which create a balanced proportion. You can move the straps closer together if you want the crown to appear taller. The organic nature of the materials used in the trim, paired with it being handmade, means each is subtly unique, though it will be as screen accurate as possible.
It was such a treat and an honour to be a small part of this immediately iconic look - many thanks to designer extraordinaire, Renee Ehrlich Kalfus, for this wonderful opportunity. I love the whole look she created - pairing it with a stunningly delicious, vintage Ralph Lauren (my favourite designer!) suit made me swoon.
I usually make a small handful of Blake Fedoras every month, so be sure to sign up for my newsletter, to get the restock updates!
Please do not wear your couture hat in the rain - as seen in the movie, use an umbrella if you think it will be a wet day. If you get caught in the rain, blot the raindrops with a towel, and then very gently brush up the pile of the velour finish of the felt, with a soft, natural bristle brush. I like to use a shoe polish brush (new and unused for polishing!).
Thank you to all of my wonderful ladies who have helped make this hat one of my best-sellers - I absolutely love to make it and adore hearing from you all, on how much fun you have wearing it. Please reach out with any questions on sizing, before purchasing, as sales are final.
