The Maker
Meet Susan
I have always loved the open spaces, high mountains, and red rock desert of the West. This is what inspires me when I’m creating hats.
As a massage therapist for many years, I began looking for something new to take my life and passions in a different direction. Handcrafting hats and working closely with each client is rewarding and feels like I’ve come home to a new love. I enjoy creating hats that will stand the test of time and style.
Mariposa Hats are made in my studio in the heart of the West, Carbondale, Colorado, handcrafted using traditional methods.
When I’m not making hats, I am out playing in these wonderful western landscapes. Whether hiking, biking, running, or skiing with my husband and dog, I enjoy all that the West brings.
