A soft wash of lavender, periwinkle, and blush comes together in a quietly radiant palette, wrapped in hand-dyed silk and adorned with pieces of Marlene’s original canvas. This one-of-a-kind hat is created to honor the woman who has reclaimed her worth—and carries it with grace every day.
 
Her Worth Remembered was painted for the woman who has forgotten, at moments, just how extraordinary she is — and is finally beginning to see it again. The gentle purples and soft peachy hues echo healing, renewal, and dignity restored. Hand-dyed silk, deep burgundy tones, and the warmth of rose-tinted canvas pieces come together as a reminder that her story is still unfolding, and she is worthy of beauty she didn’t have to earn.
Every element was chosen with intention: the soft gradients, the gold-kissed highlights, the original canvas accents — all held together with the tiny silver hope pin resting near the heartline of the brim. This is a hat for the woman stepping back into her own light… not loudly, but unmistakably.
 
The Hope Collection is a series of one-of-a-kind, wearable art hats, hand-dyed felt hats wrapped in reclaimed sari silk and finished with a piece of my original artwork tucked beneath the ribbon. Each hat carries its own story — a small chapter of grace, courage, renewal, or joy — meant to be worn with intention.
Every woman lives many chapters throughout her life, and each piece in this collection is designed to honor those moments: the ones she’s walked through, the ones she’s healing from, and the ones she’s stepping bravely into. These hats invite her to walk forward with softness, strength, and a touch of light.
 
Wearing this hat is a reminder that worth is not something given — it is something remembered. It invites the wearer to step into the world with quiet courage, embracing the fullness of who she is becoming.
