About

 

MidWest Hatters is a small business specialising in Western hats for women.

My name is Barbara Larkin and I am the sole proprietor of MidWest Hatters which is based in my attic home studio in Drummond Cove on the the MidWest coast of Western Australia. I made hats on a part-time basis for over 20 years and trained in Caussade, France and Canberra, Australia. In 2017, I moved back to the MidWest, 'bit the bullet' and started my millinery business. Over the years, MidWest Hatters has evolved — while I continue to design and craft my own hats, I now also offer a carefully selected, curated collection of quality hats made by other trusted makers.

🤠 What Makes Our Hats Different

We don’t just sell hats — we craft statements. Whether you're after timeless Western charm or bold modern flair, our collection stands apart:

Handmade Western Style Hats: Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, blending traditional techniques with personal artistry. No two hats are exactly alike — because your style shouldn’t be either.

Vegan Suede Cowboy /Cowgirl Hats in Stunning Colours: Our vegan suede hats are all about rich texture and vibrant expression. Available in a spectrum of gorgeous colours, they’re soft to the touch and bold in personality — definitely made to stand out.

Straw Cowboy /Cowgirl Hats featuring a Beaded Shell Band: A unique beachy twist on classic Western style.

Style Meets Substance: From rugged trails to rooftop bars, our hats are designed to elevate your look and last the journey — wherever it takes you.
