"All of my hats are produced without electricity from the power grid. All sewing is done on a 100 year old Singer treadle machine powered by the rhythmic tapping of my feet. I have been living without electricity for 14 years. I do so because I believe in living within the means of my ecology and because I am happier not giving my money to the power industry. I draft all of my patterns and I hold copyright to all of my work and no two hats are alike. " - René
