RoseHip Hats
Shari Reid – designer/owner
"I’ve been a hat designer for over 30 years. My love for the art of millinery came from a life-long passion
for the expression of personal style through fashion. Formal fashion design training helped to hone my
mostly self-taught skills as well as introduce me to a variety of surface design applications. I continue
to explore new ways of designing with textiles as tools and technology change, inspiring fresh design
ideas and excitement for my craft.
RoseHip Hat designs are classic, modern and reflect the prevailing mood of fashion. Each hat is
made one-of-a-kind and features sustainable fabrics: re-invented vintage textile treasures; earth-
friendly fibres such as hemp and organic cotton; and a variety of natural fibre upcycled materials."
