In The Darling Chic Boutique Today: Hat by Katie Burley
Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! This hive filled with bees won’t sting, but honey, you’ll attract something with this piece!
The hive is constructed using a basket weaving technique and covered in a raw silk. The little bee’s buzzing around are attached by a thin wire so they actually look like they’re flying about! Shop Katie Burley’s full collection here.
About the designer Katey Burley:
I was born and raised in Washington, DC. I followed my heart and my hands to the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD where I studied Fibers and Wearable Sculpture. There, my love of all things cranial was unveiled.
After many interesting adventures, from working in a one room “sweat shop” in NYC, to making one of a kind hats for the runway, I now call San Francisco home.
I hand block and hand trim each hat, with selected materials that are few of a kind or vintage, making each piece couture. Inspired my pieces of discarded history, hunting in alley ways and digging through thrift shops for abandoned souls.
