Know your hats... And know where to buy 'em


In the previous Know your Hats post... I had let you in a short snippet of the popular hats we fashionistas can use to accessorise on a sunny day out!

And recently our weather has been so unkind that I had people ask me.. 'Where can I get these hats!"... To be honest with you.. I don't get my hats from Malaysia.. Most of my pretty hats are from Vietnam not only cos they are cheap.. They have a wide variety to choose from! Benh thanh Market (with much bargaining) sells fedoras at USD7 and straw hats at USD12 onwards.. If you're not into the bargaining activity Non Som sells straw hats at a set price of VND200k = RM28

Coming back closer to home... Where can we find hats to buy in Malaysia?
 

Deeper and Harder
  
Prices - Mid Range

Berets - RM40
Fedoras - RM50 - Rm60
Straw Hats - RM60

Address:

Lot S213A, 2nd Floor, 1Utama Shopping Centre, Bandar Utama,

Spoilt for choices.. Different styles.. that come in different colours.. Great place to try find a hat that suits your style, occasion and face shape! =)


Hat Attack


Prices - Mid Range
Berets - RM50
Fedoras - RM40 average, RM25 at offer
Straw Hats - RM70
Address :

LGC2 Ground Floor, Mid Valley Shopping Centre, Petaling Jaya, Selangor
(In between The Chicken Rice Shop and Tony Romas)

Goods things come in small pacakages! Although small, this mobile cart has a decent variety of hats to choose from and are quite afforable too! What I like most are their selection of knitted berets.. Go Crazy! 


Accessorize


Prices - Splurge 

Berets - RM60
Straw Hats - RM100 - RM120

Address -
Lot F306, 1st Floor, High Street, 1Utama Shopping Centre,
Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, Selangor

A little bit up-market but you really get what you pay for! =P The straw hats are not only stylish, they are also conviniently foldable =)


So which of the 3 you ask is Jojo's Fav? Accessorize wins hands down for their straw hats! Although pricey.. its adjustable flaps frames your facey nicely giving you the chic summer-y look.

However if you're looking for Fedoras.. Deeper and Harder has a plethora of colours, shapes and size! =) and like I said before, the little cute Hat Attack cart has a good range of berets to choose from.. especially the knited ones!

But if you really want a good deal... take a trip down to Melaka town!

Selling all kinds of hats from fedora to straw hats, Melaka, the Historical City (2 hours away from KL city) ... sells hats as cheap as RM5 all the way to RM20 for tourists feeling the afternoon Heat! Take a walk down Jonker Street and you won't be short of Hats to buy! May require some bargaining, but Hey.. it's a real steal!
