Mad Hatter: Lisa Ventre

Humble straw swoops, swirls, and practically winks in Lisa Ventre’s mischievous and elegant handmade hats. Sewing braided toyo straw to itself, Ventre creates each hat using fabric draping skills, letting the shape evolve. She ends up with curiously organic forms that would liven up a trip to the beach or just the backyard. lisaventrehats.com
