I was browsing through Centerpoint to find a Shawl for my sisters wedding. I came across Bijou…read moreAccessories and was so happy that I did. They had marvellous Faux Fur Shawls for a winter wedding. They had lots of colours (Grey, White and some others) and the price was just right. I purchased two for $67.21. The owners were very nice as well. Since I needed two shawls of the same colour, the owners let me purchase one of each colour that I was debating between. I then took them to the dress store to see which colour looked better with the dresses. They let me come back the next day to exchange the colour I didn't need for the other colour so I would have two of the same. The owners were so sweet and went above and beyond. I highly recommend this store. I also received tons of complements on the faux fur shawls. No one could believe that they were about $35.00 each. I highly recommend this store. They also sell tons of cute hats for both summer and winter. It's definitely worth a visit :)

What an interesting store, and watching them make hats is really neat...they were helpful and friendly. Love all their products. It is a large store that carries every kind of hat you can think of...even if you're not looking for a hat, or scarf or gloves do not miss this highly unusual and lovely store.

I wasn't in the market for a hat when I visited this awesome hat shop, but my friends insisted I…read morecheck it out (they know I'm into cool design, being a former interior designer), and I gotta say, this store is pretty darn amazing. The store interior is huge - way larger than it appears from the street. Inside, it is super wide and long, and it's divided up into multiple connected rooms inside. I got a kick out of the various rooms' antique-y items placed strategically about: old wooden ladders, old lathes and finishing machines, an old piano (which invites people to use), old pharmacy and apothecary tools on display on antique countertops, lab apparatus, pipes and valves, and more, much more. All super cool. And the hats! I'm not sure I've ever seen so many hats, in all types and sizes and colors, in any one store before. They had vibrant bucket rubber raincoats in every color, Stetsons, boaters and bucket hats, fedoras and Panama hats, cowboy hats, hats that look like they were worn by Crocodile Dundee ("outback" hats?), hats that look like they were worn by Sherlock Holmes ("sleuthing" hats?), top hats, rain hats, every kind of hat imaginable. In every color and material and size, in every price point. You'd be hard-pressed not to find any type of hat you want here. The employees here seemed nice but I didn't interact with any of them when I visited.

Good friend of mine recommended I go to Brimz as I was looking for a good quality hat and honestly…read moremy expectations were totally exceeded. My wife and I were warmly greeted by Dameion and Yoko who are obviously experts. I explained what I was looking for and Dameion presented me with a few options.

I purchased a stylish Pork Pie and a Nice (Don Corleone) Fedora. The hats are high quality and fit perfectly.

Hats. Caps. More hats…read more Found at this new shop on Hertel. Between Berthas and Chow Chocolates. There are a variety of hats and caps. You can try on whatever strikes your fancy. The owner (Mark?) is there and very happy to see you there too. Some of these are fedoras. In various colors. Others are winter knits, makes sense in Buffalo. Then some caps, think Sherlock Holmes. There's plenty to choose from and nice easy mirrors so you can see how it looks on your head. As far as I know this is the only store like it in Buffalo, and on Hertel. For that alone, 5 stars.

The selection is somewhat limited by the tininess of the store and, probably, the demand for a shop…read morethis cool in a mostly-baseball-cap kind of town. But what Agorie has certainly does shine: pageboy caps, newsboy caps, drivers, pressers, coachmen, fedoras with a great eye for color, bowlers, an odd top hat here and there--it's a good spread at competitive prices, and probably a better use of the limited shelf space than most shops would be able to pull off. It's got stuff for multiple styles and seasons. I moved here from a more hat-oriented market (Austin, TX), but Agorie and Beau Chapeau in Niagara-on-the-Lake have given me haberdasher hope in what I feared would be a hat desert.

After doing some online research, I knew he was the only option to get the job done. I dropped off my hat just as David was preparing for the Queen's Plate, so the process took longer than usual. However, David kept in touch with me, letting me know what stage he was at, when it would be completed, etc. The services to block and shape a hat aren't cheap, but it is a specialised art/skill. I am very happy with the results!

Went to this place for my wedding fascinator and had it custom designed. I absolutely loved the…read moregorgeous piece he created for me. The trouble came on the day of the wedding when it literally fell apart the second it was pinned on by my MUA. First, one of the three silk roses fell off. We managed to pin it back together so I could wear it. Before the ceremony, the second rose fell off. Again, we cobbled it together to at least get through the ceremony. Considering how expensive it was and how delicately I treated it, I really can't figure out why it didn't stay together. When I sent David an email after the wedding to let him know what happened, he didn't even bother to respond. So yes. I got a gorgeous fascinator but he didn't stand behind his work or even try to offer any kind of explanation.

In Fashion has been in business for over 15 years and you have probably never heard of them before…read more The business is predominantly a wholesaler selling directly to wedding and clothing rental businesses and buyers for movie sets. They specialize in all sorts of hats, fascinators, jewelry and beads. The prices are great and probably the best value you'll find in the city. The owner imports his products, and he often adjusts the designs to improve the quality and owns his moulds. However, shipping costs have increased so much that he has to increase the number of days he works. I was there for a fascinator, and there is a TON of variety at such a reasonable price, better than what you may find on Amazon. You can take out the clip and slip on a headband instead if you want. If you're looking for a hat, come here first! I'll probably come back here again if I'm in the look out for a beach hat. A few neighbouring shops have closed during the pandemic. The owner told me he has only one year left on the lease, depending on how sales go this year, he may also decide to leave the business. He does say it in a more positive tone mentioning how sometimes a change/adapting is needed. If you're in the market for some accessories for your event, vacation or even a hat, visit them. You might have to call or message first to let him know you're coming. The doors aren't always open to the public. The owner is super nice and approachable so don't be shy.
