And the young set can’t get enough of them, especially retro looks—toque, cloche and classic downbrim hats. Orange County’s premiere hat shop, a tiny hidden place, is The Hat Box in Laguna Beach. The specialty boutique for casual to couture hats offers the finest collection of beautiful, colorful and custom-made hats.
The new fall collection just arrived in shades of wine, and through the end of the month just mention Greer’s OC, for a 10% discount. It doesn’t sound like much, but if you’re buying a couture hat, you’ll thank us.
Milliner, Paula Del Percio, is on hand daily at her boutique from noon to 7 p.m. She has more than 20 years of experience in making and selling award-winning hats, and she can help you with style selection for the perfect fit. One of Paula’s creations even won the “Most Glamorous Hat” at Del Mar a few years ago.
And they do offer men’s styles: fine Panamas, small-brimmed Fedoras, Italian straw boaters, as well as winter and summer weight felt hats.
The Hat Box is at 550 S. Coast Highway in Laguna Beach. 949.497.7335. www.thehatbox.com.
