It’s the time of the year when we’re hoping to be magically whisked away to a vacation, any, whether it’s exploring streets in Europe, eating our way through Hong Kong, or basking in the tropical warmth of Maldives — don’t ask us how, ask us only what we’re going to bring, because it’s clear we have one thing in mind. If it’s a seaside locale you’re lusting after, then the classic gigantic sun hat is a must. For that, no one does it better than Eugenia Kim.
It’s the cult New York-based label that’s practically a go-to for Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani — and even the ever-stylish Nicole Warne/Gary Pepper Girl too — and designer Eugenia Kim’s hats often feature bold colours in high-quality materials, for a fresh dose of feminine whimsy. Just look at the Honey hat, with the Instagram-famous words of “leave a message” or “do not disturb” embroidery across its wide brim, and tell us it’s not at the top of your ‘want’ list.
And then, we’re getting even better news: you get to completely make it your own. On Pedder at Ngee Ann City is launching an exclusive made-to-order programme, from 15 to 30 November, that allows us to choose from an array of five felt fabric shades. This ranges from a classic palette of black and camel, to light grey, rose, and mink.
You’ll also get to pick your choice of sequins that will form the phrase “leave a message” on top of its canvas — matte black or matte pink gives a subtle sheen against the textured surface, white suede is instantly classy, while metallic silver or gold are there for the creatively bold. For a finishing touch, each personalised order comes with a hangtag signed by Kim herself. Now, it’s just a matter of booking your next flight out.
On Pedder’s Made-To-Order Programme for Eugenia Kim’s ‘Leave A Message’ Hat, $820 each, at On Pedder Ngee Ann City from 15 November – 30 November 2016. ‘Let It Snow’ and ‘Take Me Away’ Honey hats, $820, both globally exclusive at On Pedder. onpedder.com
