Business Owner
Hat maker Elwyn Crawford creates artisan crafted headwear for men and women under her label O’Lover Hats. Lovingly hand made from fine quality natural felts, straws, leather and wovens, her materials are consciously sourced and aim to support domestic and international crafts of felting and weaving. The hats are artfully molded and finished with distinct style to guarantee that you stand ahead of the crowd.
Elwyn loves crafting hats because they are interactive, sculptural accessories that allow for exploration of materiality while creating functional, beautiful objects that improve her customers’ lives through comfort, protection and a bold sense of identity.
Elwyn has been awarded with GenArt’s Fresh Faces in Fashion (2008) for an innovative line, modernizing an ancient craft as contemporary art; and in 2011 she won Woman Entrepreneur of the Year from the Women’s Initiative for her focus on sustainable business and community economic development.
