The Village Hat Shop, VillageHatShop.com, was featured on National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition” on November 28th. The program focused on “Cyber Monday”, the e-commerce equivalent to Black Friday, the traditional kickoff for the holiday retail shopping season. The Village Hat Shop’s Fred Belinsky was the retailer that reporter Scott Horsely interviewed in an effort to understand the significance of Cyber Monday. Belinsky explained on air that this would be the ninth holiday season that 26-year old Village Hat Shop would be fulfilling Internet business for the holidays. He did confirm that e-commerce revenues on the Monday following Thanksgiving are significantly greater than on the Friday following Thanksgiving. Belinsky also indicated to Horsley that not until mid-December did holiday revenues in fact peak as VillageHatShop.com has become more adept every year at responding to the pressure of getting “the hat under the tree” before December 25th. Visits to VillageHatShop.com spiked to an all-time high on the day the national program aired.

sur la tête
- sur la tête is the brain child of millinery designer Susan Lee. Ms. Lee began her career in hats while, as an art history student at The University of California San Diego, she worked part-time in sales at The Village Hat Shop’s retail stores in both Seaport Village And Horton Plaza. Her unique style, flair, good humor, and stellar work habits caught the attention of management. As fate would have it, the hat retailer’s long-time buyer and merchandise manager retired to full-time motherhood at the same time that Susan graduated from the University. She was offered the job, accepted it, and the rest is hat history. Susan literally traveled the world learning the millinery trade and buying hats. sur la tête represents her breakout from buyer to designer. Because of Ms. Lee’s background as a retail buyer, this line brings together her deep understanding of what a customer is looking for with the fashion forward flair that is pure Susan. And to top it off (pun intended), these hats go from manufacturer to customer without middle distribution – what that means to you is great prices. Enjoy – be the first on your block to wear a sur la tête.
