I had an amazing experience making my hat. The instructor was inspiring, knowledgeable, and fun. We began with choosing the hat shape I wanted to make, then set to work softening the felt until it could be stretched over the form. It took some elbow grease and heat to get the shape just right! Once the top was formed, I worked on the brim... more steaming, stretching, and pinning it down. Once that was finished, the hat went into the steam cabinet to set. During that time I surveyed the incredible selection of scarves, ribbons, charms, feathers, chains and other accessories available for decorating my hat (additional charge for most of these items). I love having a hat I made myself to remind me of my Parisian experience.
Highly recommended!

Thank you very much.
Be sure to wear your hat, and tell your friends to stop by when they're in Paris.
See you soon

Great Experience
This was an amazing experience. We start at 10 and were done by 1:30pm. We were able to see all the work put in to creating, designing, and even molding our hat. He gives you options to what kind of material you want your hat. The he shows what kind of hat you want. After doing all of that, you choose the ribbon and design you want. I went with my 11 year old daughter and he was very helpful. He also made sure we had all instructions translated. He was very understanding of the language barrier and overall a great teacher!

I bought a gift voucher for my sister. It took 3 weeks to receive the gift voucher by email. No answer on the phone, full voice mail, no answer by e-mail. At almost 200€ the gift voucher, it's still crazy not to be able to reach anyone and not to be able to book what we paid for.

Fun with Fabrice
Hat making with fabulous Fabrice was fun, fun, fun. Very interesting to learn the effort it takes to shape a hat properly. I appreciated Fabrice using translation technology so I could understand everything despite me not fluent in French. Looking sharp in my new blue hat. Highly recommend. Store clerk Mary super helpful getting me a taxi ride after when outdoor temperature soared to 90 F.

Best birthday gift.
I originally wanted to make a handbag but learned about the hat making class. I loved every minute. Our instructor was kind and make the process easy. It's a lengthy class so make sure you schedule time. There's a charge for the extras but so worth it to get what you want. Can't wait to go back.

We showed up and they...
We showed up and they class was happening. Still charged over $300 and waiting for a refund. We lost our afternoon in Laris because of their lack of scheduling.
