Handcrafted entirely from full-grain leather in our Port Elizabeth studio, this steampunk top hat is one of the most ambitious and arresting pieces we make. The deep royal purple leather commands attention from across the room — rich, bold, and entirely unlike anything you’ll find in a shop.
The structured top hat silhouette is elevated with a full suite of steampunk details, all hand-applied and hand-stitched. Dual mesh goggle frames are mounted directly onto the brim front, riveted in place with aged brass hardware. A corset-style lace panel runs up the front of the crown, adding a Victorian edge that ties the whole look together. Decorative brass studs line the hat band, and intricate hand-stitching runs across every panel seam — the kind of detail work that only comes from someone who genuinely loves the craft.
The wide, slightly upturned brim frames the face perfectly, whether you’re performing, parading, or simply refusing to be invisible.
Perfect for steampunk festivals, cosplay events, theatrical performances, themed weddings, Halloween, or anyone who considers everyday life a stage.
