Fine Craft Shows at Chautauqua July 12–14 & August 9–11, 2024
The Meshugenah Hat Company was founded in 2015 by twin sisters. Marcia and Carla both appreciate unique fashion, design, and textiles Carla is a self taught sewist with a great flare for creativity and whimsy. She learned her craft through persistence and vision. She designs our hats using fabric as her sculpture medium, taking away and adding pieces until she is satisfied with the result. From that she creates her pattern. Marcia is a trained painter and designer, specializing in color and texture. Her experience as a professional designer and art director taught her to interpret color and fashion trends. She is the accessory designer. She learned traditional silk flower making from a French couturier. She now applies those techniques using silk, leather, and synthetic fibers. The Meshugenah Signature: Elegant, whimsical, vintage inspired hats and accessories made of high quality textiles. Most styles are reversible, washable, and offer flexible styling.
