We have some examples on our website for you to get a feel for the type of hat we are offering.

You can hire our hats for between $60 and $100 to hire for the day depending on the designer.  You will also need to pay a fully refundable $200 deposit. Courier fees, if required, are additional. Usually, you will pick them up from Newmarket, Auckland the day before the event and deliver them back the day after. We know that sometimes you have to go out of town event and we will work with you to fit around your travel dates.

About Designer Hat Hire

We love hats.

Some people are shoe people, some are handbag people: we are the hat people.

We’d love more people to wear hats. Wearing a hat lifts your spirits, you walk with attitude, and it gives your outfit pizazz. You definitely have more fun in a hat.

Everyone suits a hat.  You just have to find the right shape for you.

Instead of spending a few hundred dollars buying a hat, which you may only wear once or  twice, why not hire one?

Located in Newmarket, Auckland, we offer designer hats for you to hire.  Almost all of them are one off, bespoke designs.  Some are ‘high street’ designers – the Trelise Cooper, Kate Sylvester, Karen Walker’s of the hat world.

Come and join in the fun.

Which Hat For You?

Everyone suits a hat.

It’s just a matter of working out which hat shape is right for you.

Generally, the taller you are and the bigger your frame, the larger the hat you can wear.  If you are small, a hat which is too big can make you look like a mushroom!  

Short people will also find certain hats give them height.

This website shows you how to work out which face shape you have and then, work out what type of hat might suit you.

But generally, keep open minded and be prepared to try on a variety of different styles and you will educate yourself about which shape works best for you. Also, be prepared to try on the hat a number of different ways – slant it one way and then the other or try it back to front.
