Corina Haywood Hats
Corina Haywood Hats

5.0 (1)
female Women-owned

Corina Haywood, founder of Corina Haywood Hats, has always had a love for hand made sculptural forms. As a child, they could often be found building structures with sticks and rocks on summer camping trips. During the school year, Corina spent many afternoons at a local vintage store, where they developed an appreciation for the fashion and art of past eras. After graduating from the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts—where they explored non-traditional sculpture in the Visual Arts program—Corina moved to San Francisco to study History and Creative Writing at San Francisco State University. While in college, Corina’s passion for sculptural forms found new expression in floral design and jewelry making.
After graduating, Corina moved to New York in 2001 and, on a whim, enrolled in a millinery course at the Fashion Institute of Technology. There they discovered millinery to be a natural fit for their combined interests in fashion, history, and sculpture. This discovery led to the creation of Corina Haywood Hats, the brand that continues to embody Corina’s experimentation at the intersection of art and fashion.
Now working out of Los Angeles, Corina sources high-grade millinery materials from international and American manufacturers while also incorporating back stock vintage pieces for distinctive finishing touches. Since 2001, they have crafted hats for custom clients, private label collections, and retail stores across California, New York, Taiwan, and Japan. Corina’s work has been featured in magazines and press throughout their career, with pieces also acquired for use in film and television productions.
