Still Life has been bringing exquisite craftsmanship to beautifully designed hats in the Lower East Side for years, and continues to have styles for both women and men in gorgeous materials. The small shop is a blank canvas, giving focus to the hat bar where owner and designer Frenel Morris displays his handmade creations.

With its own millinery studio in Brooklyn, Still Life pairs its original designs with local handmade quality, ensuring every hat is as unique as the wearer.  Straw and felt hats are embellished with leather, suede, silk, feathers, buttons, and metal clasps and range from $75-$500.  Favorites include equestrian-inspired styles adorned with vintage buttons and leather trim ($275) and straw fedoras with colorful silk ribbon ($250). Custom orders are available if you can't find what you're looking for and there are also small accessories, including wallets, bags, and vintage sunglasses.

The passion for hats and style are evident and with constantly updated collections and modern styles, Still Life will easily be adorning the heads of New Yorkers for years.
