Are your hats errr.....BIG? My head is huge!

I get asked, "So does "Big On Hats" mean that the hats are really big in brim, crown size (thats the inside bit that fits over your head) or that you are just nuts about hats in general? Well, the answer is yes to all three. You see, Princess Diana had a crown size of a whopping 64cms.

Melania Trump’s UK Hats: low brims, high drama

If there’s one accessory Melania Trump uses like punctuation, it’s a hat. On her UK visits—2019 with Queen Elizabeth II and now 2025 with King Charles III—she’s leaned on wide brims, sculpted crowns and strict palettes to telegraph formality, mystery and just a little theatre. 2025: Windsor goes wide-brim (again) The grape-purple show-stopper For the Windsor Castle welcome, Melania arrived in a low-slung, grape-purple wide-brim hat that threw her face into shadow—signature Melania....

So there we were. Two fabulous women - wearing fabulous hats, lounging in the afternoon sunshine at my hat shop at the Manly Markets - and pondering the fear that some women clearly experienced when trying on my FABULOUS HATS. "They just are scared of being gorgeous again...of drawing attention to themselves by wearing such a glorious colourful statement piece," said Sophie.

Hats Off to the Royal Wedding - let's review the best of the show stoppers!

The rather unkindly referenced "Markle Debacle" saw some ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS hats emerge. BTW Meaghan- HAIR!!! I wanted to pull my bobby pin out of Miss 6's school pony tail and slick that pesky wisp back behind your ear. EVERY girll with long hair knows that wisps drenched in hair spray are more like birch broom stick needles than "romantic and wispy". NOTE TO SELF - at wedding number 3 do not do "the wisp". Now back to the hats.......None more Ab Fab than my favourite Royal (Princess Anne's)...

How it all started....I was a customer myself.

How do people get the idea to start a business like Big On Hats. Well mostly its because we were customers ourselves first. Yes. Thats right. I found the giant brimmed soft raffia hat while on holidaying with my small children at Jervis Bay on New South Wales South Coast. Ok. Well I didn't find the hat in Jervis Bay - I found it in a little shop in Berry. And it became my life saver that summer. I bought 3 of them...and then started my search to find the makers of the hats.
