High Hat Couture Answers...What’s in a name?
"...That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
I was perusing the Etsy forums when I came across one that piqued my interest. It was entitled "Share the meaning behind your shop name". The entries I found therein were varied from entertaining, strange, to dare I say it? touching. You can read the thread for yourself if you are curious below:
Share the meaning behind your shop name thread
So I have decided to share the story of my boutiques name here.
HighHatCouture....
'High Hat' is an antiquated phrase that means ' To act in a snobbish or supercilious manner toward (someone)'. Many rich and prosperous men wore top hats and this is how the phrase came into being. My boutique name is a subtle wink towards high-end fashion snobbery. Also....
I love top hats. In fact, I love ALL HATS.
When I first went hunting for names I looked for names that contained the words Noir & Blanc, but all the goodies were taken. I'm much happier with the name I have now though, so it all worked out for the best, as things in life often do! That's my story.
