SFMade Week 2019 | SF

You’re invited to our Mad Hatter Tea Party. Come enjoy high tea with Paul’s Hat Works, where they’ll provide the tea, sandwiches, and pastries. Following the high tea, they will be demonstrating several hat making processes. All registered attendees will also receive 20% off any hat in the store.

Admission is $5.

Paul’s Hat Works was opened by Napoleon Marquez in 1918. He came to the United States from Peru, having grown up around the Ecuadorian tradition of weaving Panama straw hats. He passed the legacy to his godson Kelley Bowling, who ran the shop with his wife Stephanie for many more years. The third generation to own Paul’s Hat Works was Michael Harris and his wife Judy. Michael became the owner in 1980, but 28 years later he was ready to retire and paint the coasts of California. Michael looked for a successor, sure that only a knight in shining armor could continue the 91-year-old legacy.
Low and behold four young lady residents of the Richmond District rose to the occasion. With a collective history in fashion, textiles, costuming, invention and co-operative business, the four ladies filled the role of knight in shining armor well.
