DESIGNING A CUSTOM HAT

The process of designing a bespoke hat with Sally Faith Steinmann of MAGGIE MAE DESIGNS® is a special one. It is also a very personal one…

And as MAGGIE MAE DESIGNS® customers will tell you, Sally’s Cape Cod studio is where the “hat magic” begins. What could be more personal, or more unique than a hat that you helped to create?

And Sally will be there every step of the way. She will help you imagine the hat of your dreams that she will then personally create. In the end you will receive a chapeau that reflects your own true sense of style. A style that is uniquely yours.

For a step-by-step outline of the custom hat process, please visit the Designing a Custom Hat page.

Regardless of what kind of hat you need, we want to hear from you!  Please email Sally today to let her know what you have in mind. If you experience any difficulty in sending an email, call her directly at 774-316-4977.
