Greeting Mistress Ahn there is a women's hat store @ 66 East 7th street, Barbara Feinman Millinery. WWW>feinmanhats.com There is also another small boutique hat store on the same block(opposite side of the street) that had some interesting hats as well. Also another local alternative ( although they carry mostly men's hats , they do have some women's hats and they also accept some custom orders ) is Still Life 77 Orchard Street. http://WWW.StillLifeNYC.com
Hopefully this might help you in your quest for a fun and funky hat!
