About Us
Founded by native Nashvillian Nicole Sanders, a passionate designer and creator, the Sanders Hat Company journey began with a deep love for the art of millinery. As a hat enthusiast and collector, Nicole began asking the questions that ultimately fueled the leap into designing and crafting bespoke luxury hats. She's taken an array of different classes and has studied under several different mentors and hat makers - taking her to places in Tennessee, Utah, and even three months in Florence, Italy!
Preserving Tradition and Craftsmanship
A significant part of our work is dedicated to crafting custom, made-to-order hats. After sanding, dying, and distressing, we cut and shape the crown and brim of your hat by hand from start to finish. This approach keeps us connected to our craft, and the rich tradition of hat-making that came before us.
Our Nashville atelier serves as the creative hub where your hat dreams come to life. There's an undeniable energy, beauty, and craftsmanship in what we do - a devotion to the art of working by hand. Nicole remains committed to preserving the traditions of the past, using wooden blocks, hand tools to create and shape each hat. Every detail receives the personal attention that she'd use when creating a hat of her own.
