When Sue Eggen started Giant Dwarf in 2003, it was just a hobby. She made a cloche hat for herself out of a recycled sweater, felt flower embellishment and buttons. The compliments ensued, and Giant Dwarf was born. 'I breathe, eat, sleep and dream of this business 24/7,' says Eggen.

When it was too warm to wear her cloche hats, Eggen fastened one of her trademark embellishments onto a headband, and voil': The rosette hair fascinator was born. Each rosette is made out of eco-friendly, wool-blend felt, which Eggen cuts and stitches into a bouquet pattern. The hair fascinators come in a variety of colors and can also be custom ordered. It's a crafty way to add color and nature to any outfit ' and it'll never wilt.
