But this time we were inspired by the art of floriography, also known as "The language of flowers". Tussie-Mussies were tiny little mouse sized flower bouquets that were worn as a pin or held in hand during the victorian era. Each type of flower had a special meaning and suiters would communicate their interest by choosing the appropriate flowers to offer and/or wear. We at Heirloom like to picture people wearing hats as singular flowers, and all together forming a beautiful "Tussie-Mussie".

Each hat is handmade in our Montreal studio by our very small team of skilled artisans.
