About us
Our Story
“I believe hats should always be worn. A celebration dinner, your next holiday destination, a wedding, or just at the office – no matter the occasion, a hat should be included!”
– Talisa Cheung, creative co-founder
Old Habits Die Hard is named after the famous saying, with the intention to inspire you to break up with your normal way of doing things. Instead, Old Habits Die Hard dares you to be different! Break the rules and wear your hat on all occasions.
We see ourselves as enthusiasts, lovers, but mostly take great pleasure in creating quality fashion that we believe in. Our small, but close team constantly looks for new designs, colours, trends and fabrics that speak to us. We follow trends but add our own twist. We get inspired by old habits and translate them into a modern life.
How did Old Habits Die Hard come about?
As a hat lover Talisa noticed a huge gap between the quality of highstore hats and designer hats. She wanted to find the middle ground: timeless, premium quality hats that are known for their craftsmanship, designed for the fashion forward. Old Habits Die Hard is an embodiment of fashion forward ideas, creativity, quality, travel and the good life, which is translated into every collection Old Habits Die Hard brings to life.
About Our Hats
Old Habits Die Hard hats are designed to guarantee a perfect fit. It is important to us that your hat feels comfortable when wearing, so you don’t have to adjust it throughout the day. It is why Old Habits Die Hard has designed the adjustable strap inside of our hats to ensure your perfect fit.
