With the summer season slowly fading away, it's time to give your closet a seasonal refresh with Aspen's best boutiques.
Aspen Hatter
This high-quality, cowboy-chic brand has become Aspen’s local style staple and fashion phenomenon. Even celebrities like actor Pierce Brosnan and All-Star Mookie Beets have been seen sporting this signature look. It all started with a man’s keen eye for style and a suitcase stuffed with multifaceted talent. When Chris Roberts moved from Austin to Aspen, he began creating custom jewelry for friends and family in Aspen. It didn’t take long for Chris’ creations to become a local hot commodity. The community asked and the Aspen Hatter answered, opening up two charming shops that offer an array of hats, jewelry, accessories, and more. Create, customize and collaborate with the hatters to express your authentic self and style. In addition to the array of Western wear, the Aspen Hatter offers a niche experience with the stores’ behind-the-scenes look at the unique creations. Customers are invited to experience a live workshop, where you can get a real feel of the products and a glimpse into the glamorous designs and details. 465 N. Mill St., 512.284.9977
