ABOUT JULIA EMILY KNOX & EAST VILLAGE HATS
Julia Emily Knox is an English milliner, trained in New York, who heads up a small team of milliners at East Village Hats, where they handcraft the hats on the premises using traditional tools, methods, and materials.
The hats are made in the store workshop, surrounded by an incredible selection of felts, straws, and trims. The work is done on a sewing machine that dates back to the industrial revolution. The block collection, on which the hats are molded, has been built over a period of 30 years and includes blocks from more than a century ago, as well as from every decade since. A high value is placed on functionality and versatility. Each hat is designed to be an expression of who its wearer is or aspires to be.
