When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter...
from
Warning
by Jenny Joseph
(purchase "Warning" on
Books
page!)
That's the poem that started it all. Since it was written in 1961, the red
hat has come to symbolize a woman's right to have fun at any age--
and to do it in style!
The
Red Hat Ladies
was founded in 1972 by Sue Crumley of Austin, Texas. Their website states
that the Red Hat Ladies is "the only Red Hat organization acknowledged by Jenny
Joseph." It is a
not-for-profit
group.
In 2000, a similar group called the
Red Hat Society
was organized by Sue Ellen Cooper of Fullerton, California. It went from a
local club to an international organization practically overnight when
Romantic Homes Magazine
did a feature article on them. As the Red Hat Society's website states, it is
a
for-profit
organization.
This website is not affiliated with either organization.
The
Red Hat Collection
salutes all Red Hat women, as well as their younger "Pink Hat" sisters under
50.
A "red hat" is more than a piece of jewelry or a handbag. It makes a
statement about the wearer. Whether in a club or not, all women can benefit
from the spirit of the "red hat". It symbolizes a woman's refusal to become
old-minded, boring, and rigid. This site is dedicated to supplying elegant
jewelry and accessories to make
every woman
feel young, beautiful, and frisky-- regardless of her age and physical
attributes.
Navigation links are located at the bottom of every page.
All jewelry comes with a red faux leather box (example shown above), or in a
red or purple velvet pouch. Free gift-wrapping is available on most items.
While most sites are busy cutting expenses, Red Hat Collection goes the extra
mile to make your shopping experience a pleasure. So relax and shop with
confidence!
