The other day I was perusing Edinburgh's Grassmarket on my way to Armstrong's Vintage Shop when I came across the most delightful independent hat shop.
Fabhatrix is located at 13 Cowgatehead, Edinburgh. Established in 2002, it attracts hatlovers from around the world with its innovative design and eclectic mix. It has a wide and varied collection of classics, mixed in with extraordinary one off designs.
Walking through the little store was like being in an Aladdin's cave - with over 300 men and women's hats in stocks, Fabahatrix promotes the work of both local designers and the wider hat trade.
I spoke briefly with the owner who advised me that they individually make hats as well as sell many classic styles. This shop is a must-see in Edinburgh's vibrant Grassmarket area where you should expect to find the unexpected. The Grassmarket area is a few minutes walk from the Royal Mile with its many independently run designer shops.
