On my way home, I couldn't resist dropping into Camden Passage.
I was pleasantly surprised that there were more vintage related shops than it used to be. Still it was nothing like its hayday 15 years ago. I really miss the atmosphere it was then...
I walked into one of the vintage shop. And I came face to face with my dream HAT!
I was looking for a silk top hat for a quite long time.
Isn't this a beauty?
I had been longing for one of those for many years. However, due to my head which was smaller than average, I could not find anything with a good fit.
When I walked into one of the antique shops on Camden Passage, my wandering eye was fixed to this top hat instantaneously. The hat was screaming "I am yours! TAKE ME!!"
I tried it on. And it was so snug and comfortable (I am wearing it as I am writing this). I loved it.
And the price tag of £145 did not deter me either. If you find what you have been dreaming of, you just have to have it, don't you?
A mad hatter!
I know the hat is not that practical nowadays. I imagine that I would have had a massive hat collection if the era was such...
