A lovely local fashion designer (and friend!) Kim Cathers [formerly of the W. Hastings shop Discollection and also known as "kdon"] has begun to make her original and always stylish creations available online.

As her first wave of business, Kim is making her possibly best known accessory, the kdon hat, available through order on her blog Discollection. I’ve owned a few of these hats now for quite some time, and I love them to death.

If you’re still unsure if the kdon hat is for you, check this out:

• These babies are reversible
• They go with everything
• They can be dressed up or down
• They can be customized
• They’re original
• They’re affordable ($40 CA)

Best of all, your purchasing supports the local Vancouver design scene.

Order them here!

Even if you’re not from around the city, you can feel good knowing you’re supporting a growing industry and you didn’t have to travel any distance to actually do it. The postal service does all the work!
