Hats Made from Vintage Coats - Recycled Textiles for Winter Warmth (VIDEO)
Recycled Textiles for Winter Warmth
Published: Dec 15, 08

Heather Davenport makes incredibly beautiful, highly functional, one-of-a-kind hats from recycled textiles. Her Lao Hats are a line of winter hats based on medieval Eurasian designs for which Heather has a passion. Not only do her hats keep the wearers warm, they improve the world. Heather donates both hats and money to organizations that benefit the homeless and hungry.

Once you actually see Lao Hats, you want them for yourself and you want to give them to everyone you know. They are works of art. They are eco-friendly. And they support social good.

It doesn’t get better than that!

You can order Lao Hats from the website, but first, you’ll need to measure your head or the head of the hat-wearer-to-be. If you want to gift the hat and can’t devise a clever way to measure the intended recipient’s head without being noticed, e-mail Heather for a gift certificate

Heather is a member of the Northwest Arts Alliance, featured in the video above.

Inspired by design elements from historical cultures, textiles and manuscripts, Lao Hats are historically based, yet timeless ... Handcrafted in Seattle from vintage coats and other reclaimed textiles, each Lao Hat is a distinctive piece of warm and wearable art! Lao is the Chinese word for "old". It is a play on words and a reference to "these old hats" as a mostly recycled/reclaimed handcraft. (nwartalliance)
