Hats pictured below on right and left panels are just some samples of my work. Some date back as far as 1992. Others are somewhat surreal with a political twist.

My thanks to Stefano de Pieri  (Gondola on the Murray)  for modelling hat top right corner.

Harry Manx, Rodney Crowell, Kim Willbrough, John Butler, Kavisha Mazella, plus hundreds of Folk Musicians local and overseas own a Krystyna Schweizer Hat

Since 1992 I have created over twenty thousand hats with my own hands. I don't sleep much. This is true labour of love and diversional therapy! Obsessive/Compulsive!              I usually sell my hats at Woodford Folk Festival, Womadelaide,               National Folk Festival Canberra  Port Fairy Festival              (time and stock permitting).  Please support Bioregionalism for our planet's sake!

Due to Drought related consequences, competing with cheap imports, rising costs of stall fees, insurance, fuel, materials etc. makes the livelihood for artisans increasingly difficult, jeopardising the future of GENUINE Home Made Eco Ethical Fashion! 

Workshop consists of an old Railway Carriage in my Backyard.

Hat stands are made from old PVC Pipe and old coat hangers. Stock is stored in Vintage Suitcases!

Hats are made from Clean Vintage materials!

All Australian Crafts should be handmade at home in Australia.                                      NOT Machined In CHINA!
