About Us
Victorian Hats and Edwardian Hats designed by Darna for your Millinery Enchantment!

"In HAT FASHION design, we must remember there's nothing NEW, only what's been FORGOTTEN and now re-created!" author unknown

My hat shop has grown steadily and with the insurgence of "ordinary" people becoming involved in re-enactment...it's the catalyst for this growth. “Re-enactment” is the rekindling of the past: cotillions, tea parties, civil war battles, etc. The feature that all of these events have in common is attention to detail; to “re-enact” it’s vital to be in full-dress for the event; hats are the finishing touch. East Angel Harbor Hat Shoppe puts all of its hard-earned experience into every hat I make. I'm proud of my work and I stand behind it.
If you’re looking for the story behind East Angel Harbor Victorian Hats and the stamp of a master milliner, this is it: I simply love designing hats. Whether I'm designing a hat for quality as well as designing the hat for uniqueness, I put my heart into it; I love to add feathers, flowers, ribbons, tulle and occasionally a little "Whimsy" (usually a bird or a bug) in order to create that special feeling for the new owner. Each Victorian or Edwardian hat is mine until you buy it and I design the hat with that in mind...if I don't "love" the hat, I don't expect you to "love" it.

TESTIMONIALS:

Good morning Darna
The hats were delivered yesterday, I am absolutely delighted with them, the veils are just fantastic also, I am so pleased. I had to pay almost £100 in customs and excise duties but the hats are well worth it. Once I get the other habits made I will send you a picture of me on my horse with my top hat on.
Best wishes
S.R. Berwickshire, Scotland

Darna,
My son's wedding was on 7-7-07. My wife, Linda, wore her East Angel hat. It was the hit of the event--an absolutely drop dead gorgeous hat. Everybody loved the hat and she received a huge number of complements on it.
I'm thrilled to know that we have such a talented and gifted small business owner right here in the Pacific Northwest with an incredibly unique product. Your hats are world class and purchasing from you is first class.
Thank you and best regards,
T.P. Corvallis, Oregon

Darna:
Just wanted to take a few minutes to tell you how wonderful our niece's graduation party went and that your hat was an over whelming success. I have attached a few photos of it taken last Saturday. As you can imagine, things were a bit hectic so I wasn't standing in one place too often for anyone to take pictures. But the compliments were wonderful! Thank you so much for assisting me in making my niece's request for a 'Western Themed' graduation party a huge success.
Best regards,
Barbara

Hello Darna,
I have just received my hat. I want you to know that it is even more beautiful in person than in the photos! I really love it. I'm sure that everyone will want to know where I bought it. Special ordering a hat to be shipped to me in France, could have been a scary experience, but you made it the total opposite! I will send photos after the wedding.
Thanks again for everything!
J.C. Montaiguet, FRANCE

Hi Darna – just wanted to drop you a note and let you know the hat arrived and it’s wonderful! I just wanted to say my experience with you was nothing short of wonderful, professional and reliable. Thank you so much for making this experience a pleasant one. I will most definitely recommend you and please feel free to send prospective buyers my e-mail for a reference if needed. Thanks again! S.H. Naples, FL

Darna,
Thank You so much for having such gorgeous hats! My hat came in today and I love it! I wish I would of had this hat when I got married a while back. This is a gorgeous hat and I mean breath-taking hat! I love it!
Thank You so much! I just love it!!! The minute it came I open the box fast like a kid on Christmas and saw how beautiful this hat is and I try it on and I love it! I mean I felt like I should be at the Derby or in a Ship like Titanic. I love it so much!
Thank You again!
I will send pics. later! Have a nice and Safe Memorial Weekend!
R.H. Houston, TX

Hi Darna
Many photos were taken of my hat (at the Aiken Steeplechase) and it was complimented.
Thank you,

Thank you. I received my new hat. It is beautiful and the feathers are just the right colors. I intend to take pictures at my event. I will send you one.
J.O. San Marcos, CA

Darna, My hat arrived on time yesterday and I can't wait to wear it! It is gorgeous!!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to make it for me. You are a dear person. I will be in touch with you much sooner next year and I am going to forward you email address to all my girlfriends. I can't thank you enough!!!! Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy the derby!!!
Fondly,
J.F. Cumberland MD


Hi Darna, Yes! It arrived around Noon yesterday .... and it is absolutely beautiful! Everyone loves it! Our event is Saturday, so I'll make sure someone takes a picture for me and I'll send it to you. Thank you soo much!!! I truly appreciate your beautiful work and your efforts to make this happen so quickly!
Warm regards,
L.A. Tampa, FL

Dear Darna,
The hat already arrived! 11:30a.m. That is the fastest shipping I have ever received.
The hat is so more fabulous, the pictures don't do it justice. I would also like to add how refreshing it has been to do business with you. It isn't often that I meet people who actually do what they say they will, when they say they will! I wish I had asked you to send some business cards which I could hand out at the derby. I would be happy to do so if you want to send some! Take care.
Sincerely,
D.B. Chandler, AZ

Hello Darna,
Today was my bridal shower and I must tell you that both my mother and I received so many compliments on the hats that you had made for us. Thank you so very much for all your efforts in pleasing us. I will send you pictures as soon as they are ready. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

The hats arrived this week, and Carolyn and I are both delighted with all three hats. They are beautiful, and if possible better than the pictures showed. We are looking forward to wearing the hats and especially looking forward to the compliments that they will surely bring. Thanks you so much for the quick delivery. We look forward to selecting more hats soon.

B.G. Irving, TX

Dear Darna......The gorgeous hat I ordered arrived today. It is even better than the photo with it's bead fringe and color combination. I love the cream flowers with aqua centers and topped with startling blue and cream plumes. The small peacock feather in the front is fabulous. The blue silk streamers are wonderful. You really make a beautiful hat to pair with my Victorian wardrobe fashions. I have a number of great hats and this will be a great favorite. It must be wonderful to make these! Each hat is beautiful in the various colors and styles. The arrival of the hat was a nice occasion. Your packing and presentation is lovely. Thank you so much for such a treasure!
Well done with your cottage industry.

I got it Darna!!! It is so-o-o-o beautiful! Thank you so much! It fits perfect and looks perfect. I Have short straight hair and was a little anxious about how it would look.

L.S. San Leandro, CA

Darna, To say that the Lady Bug Hat was GORGEOUS is an understatement. Our Queen was absolutely delighted. She got the biggest kick out of the hummingbird. Thank you for that special added touch. What a fun box that was for me to open. I was happy I had it shipped to me.....because seeing the Queen (my dear friend's) face when she opened her hat box, was priceless. Have a wonderful fun filled Christmas. I will be talking to you again, I am sure.
Hugs,

Thanks so much.
L.S. San Leandro, CA

Everybody keeps saying the hat makes it and I avidly agree. While the dress is different it's the hat that captures the attention and defines it as a piece out and above the ordinary.
A.C. Garden City, NY

I received the hat today, 10/20, around noon. It's very elegant and fits perfectly. I know I'll enjoy wearing it, not just for my special event but all though the winter with my black wool coat. I'm a real hat lover! Thank you for everything.

I wore it for a wedding and had many compliments on it. from lots of people and, of course, no one had a hat in any way similar to mine! I love the hat - one of the nicest I've ever had - and shall certainly be wearing it again whenever I can.

I received my hat today and it is gorgeous! The quality and fit are superb. You add a little magic and spark to life with your wonderful business – or should I say ‘ministry’ – as it truly is. I can’t wait to wear my hat at our first Somewhere in Time weekend this October.
