The Vibe

The Purlicue Pinch Hat Bar brings a curated, western-chic styling experience to small corporate events, girls’ nights and birthday celebrations that want something a little different.

Guests choose their hat, layer in thoughtfully selected design elements, and leave wearing a statement piece that feels entirely their own.

It’s stylish. It’s creative. And it feels elevated without ever feeling overdone.

Designed for intimate gatherings of 5–15 guests, so every person receives personal guidance and time at the styling table.

Choose Your Tier


Each guest begins by selecting the hat base that fits their style — from easy, lightweight straw to refined wool felt. Every package includes five design elements and personal styling to bring the entire look together.
