The Two MadHatters began in 1996 with two girls from the bush of outback Queensland whose passion for colour, fabrics and style developed one of the first fabric hats for the harsh Australian climate.
With a need to look good but ever so practical attending everything from cattle, sheep and horse sales or sporting events. Worn at picnics on the river, garden party’s - outback style and beach holidays, after it rained of course, the fabric hat has become essential.

Robin Strang and Kathy Moloney developed their own special style and fun as they become know around Qld and NSW field days as ‘The TwoMadhatters of Longreach”. The name came about with the help of slightly mad brother of Robin’s and a bottle or two of red!!
They have grown and changed now with the one Madhatter Kathy opening a gorgeous gift shop in Longreach and Robin continues as the ‘’Madhatter of the North’’ with a sea change to live in Townsville and open a franchise of ‘Pet Café’ with her husband and children.

The range of hats have grown to incorporate race hats, fascinators and the fassyhat after learning the age old art of blocking. Working with sinamay and including beautiful fabrics, leathers and pearls and of course gorgeous feathers.
Robin also has cute ‘Kids Lids’ and a range of definitely different belts aptly named “Mad Belts’ featuring various leathers and vintage fabric amongst others great trimmings.
