Since 1918, Canadian Hat has been renowned around the world for its mink, fox and beaver, as well as felt, straw, and wool hats. Since the fifties, under the André signature, their high-end hats have been sought after in London and Paris. Under Mariouche Gagné’s leadership, Canadian Hat today provides hat collections for all four seasons, using top quality and comfortable materials, exclusive furs and well-structured felts.
The essence of a size four and a size twenty-four is the same, it's just about wanting to be beautiful', he has said. His collections have been proudly displayed and sold through some of the world's most recognisable retailers in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. This wealth of design experience is reflected here, with an extensive collection that is versatile, beautiful, and retains a sense of flirty fun! Bailey's reverence and respect of all things stylish can be heard in his simple quote of 'women's fashion is delightful', and that belief certainly comes through with his collection here on TSC.

Values
Cultural Preservation and Education - Canadian Hat is one of the oldest millineries in North America. Its museum-type boutique concept perpetuates this tradition and educates passersby about this traditional profession. Sewing technique expertise is passed down to younger craftspeople.
Respect for the Environment - Our production methods are environmentally friendly. We do not use any chemical processes in the manufacture of our accessories. We also revalue jeans, silk, tweed, wool and recycled ties in our line of hats. We also integrate dead stock material in our creations. The use of noble and upcycled materials and the reduction of waste in the textile industry are therefore at the heart of our concerns and we are proving that fashion can also be sustainable.
Ethics - We visit all our production partners in Canada and abroad regularly to ensure they share the same commitment and to validate that all craftspeople are working under ethical conditions.
