carmel by the sea,
a straw, double-pinch cowboy

Though this beauty has sold, enjoy her features as inspiration for your own Dominique Cohen custom hat design.

Golden and versatile like her namesake, this beautiful handmade straw hat can span the seasons with you: she's equally at home shading your eyes by the ocean as she is paired with jeans for in-town errands (in style!), or turning a simple summer sundress into an outfit.

With her unique double-pinch crown and cowboy-style banked sides, she's both lovely to look at and flattering to wear!

We accented her gorgeous bones with yellow gold silky empbroidery; yellow gold wire to refract light here, then there; grosgrain ribbon in driftwood burned with a lightly distressed flowers; and, our popular, beautiful double-dyed silk in moss over robin's egg hues that play back to her 18k yellow gold buddha link flower pistols and her “in the moment” inscription (custom inscriptions absolutely allowed). A harmony of serene beauty.

We love talking hats — and jewelry — with clients. Let's design a hat specifically for you — the shape you love (and that best suits your bone structure), the color, the textiles, the jewelry, the level of distressing, the inscription… you specify as much (or as little) as you like, and we'll design the rest into your personal, wearable work of art. Just ask.
