Lesley Timpe creates handmade hat collections that delight customers with their style and versatility. Every Squasht by Les hat is professionally handcrafted in Chicago, with the Reversible Bella Hat as her #1 best seller — a vintage-modern newsboy style that flips inside-out for two looks in one. Lesley studied at Maestro Mateo Design School in Spain, bringing a European flair to her designs. She works with organic soy-cotton, pima cotton in vintage ’80s prints, velveteen, imported Italian wool, and silk tweed to create hats that are as unique as they are wearable.
