About Purlicue Pinch

At Purlicue Pinch, each hat is more than an accessory — it’s a reflection of craftsmanship, individuality, and thoughtful design. Every piece is created one at a time, often seeming to find its destined owner and forming a unique connection between wearer and creation.

I source vintage materials whenever possible, searching for elements that already carry history and character. These materials are carefully repurposed and combined with hand-burnt designs to ensure that no two hats are ever alike.

Based in Memphis, I sell my work primarily in person at markets and festivals throughout the Mid-South, where customers can try on hats, see the details up close, and find the right fit. Online availability varies throughout the year. To stay up to date on upcoming events, new releases, and behind-the-scenes work, visit the Find Me Here page or follow along on social media.
