Pat's Hats - Cavaillon

Several years ago we discovered a little shop in Cavaillon called Pat's Boutique. We always refer to it as Pat's Hats because although the owner has beautiful clothes, over the years I have bought some amazing hats there. I was never a hat person. Either you are or you are not a hat person. It was not something I saw myself in until I found Pats. The hats were glamourous, interesting, colorful, and not expensive if on sale. She had designs I knew I would never find in NYC, and certainly not at her prices.

We had not been in the store for several years, but in honor of the new Duchess Catherine, it seemed worthwhile to venture in and see if there were fascinators too. In our dialogue, we learned that there is no word in French for a fascinator, it is still called a hat - a chapeau feminin (a women's hat as French is usually specific about these things).

Pat was having a 50% off sale, and we had driven by for a few days and watched the pile in the window declining and we didn't want to let it go further. So we ventured in and began to pick through the pile and try on. Some were plain and some were amazing. I settled on two, which I will definitely have to find an occasion for, especially the black one.

Can't say I'll look anything like Kate, but I can definitely have more style than Camilla.
