The Process

All hats are produced in Philadelphia under the direction of owner/designer Ella Isaac using both traditional and innovative millinery techniques. Fabrics are chosen for their tactile and malleable qualities. Design involves a mix of creative thought given to both colour and texture with a very organic approach. Rather than drawings, Ella uses the feel of the cloth and the vibrant hue of  the raw or dyed material to lend itself to the aesthetic design of each hat. She also keeps in mind the wearability of each style, wanting it to be a favourite among your accessories and a joy to wear, year after year.

The Designer

Originally from England, Ella Isaac; an accomplished and award winning hat designer began her hat making career in London under the tutelage of Gabriela Ligenza. While living in New York, Ella set the trend for a new style of hat design…she created a playful and stylishly urban line of hats not just regulated to formal occasions. For over a decade she continued to raise the bar and innovate the American hat industry producing eagerly awaited new shapes and new techniques from her own store in Philadelphia. Since it’s initial creation the label L.I.P.S. has continued to evolve into a distinguishable and very individual brand and Ella continues to nurture it’s expansion with a detailed eye.

“Ella is a quiet force with a visionary perception on life which she applies to her design ethic. To her every moment is a potential drop of inspiration. Coupled with an intuitive business mind, she designs hats with the modern woman in mind, giving them an accessory that can transcend all areas of life…complimenting a style of life that goes beyond mediocrity”.
