Hi, I'm Lucy
I run Little Threads hat hire in Edinburgh I have two children, my son is 6 and my daughter is 3. I have had a love of hats since I can remember and would alwavs love choosing a new one for each event I was going too but eventually I had too many hats and most of them had only been worn once or twice. I thought of the money I had spent on hats over the years and remember feeling it was such a waste seeing them sitting in my loft never to be worn again. I really wanted a business which would enable me to reuse items and offer people a way to enjoy them but for a fraction of the price hence why I had the idea of a hat hire business. I absolutely love what I do and choosing the most beautiful hats for people to wear for their special events. It is important to me that people can experience the luxury of wearing a beautiful head peice but which is affordable and accessible too

FAQs
Why rent and not buy?
Renting is a more sustainable option both for your purse and the planet! Hiring your hat makes much more sense especially if you are wearing it once. It means you can choose a hat which matches your outfit and style of event and return it afterwords. It is also more economical, you can wear the same outfit multiple times but with a completely different hat giving you another exciting look. Choosing to hire take’s the hassle out of buying a new hat or outfit every time.
Why should I pay a deposit?
For hat hire we require a deposit equal to the cost of the hat, this can be paid by card when making a booking. This is to cover minor damage as determined by Little Threads such as makeup, damage to feathers & fabric that cannot be repaired or replaced
If your hat is returned to us damaged beyond repair it is the right of Little Threads to retain your deposit in full.
If for any reason you decide not to wear the hat or your event has been cancelled the price of the hat hire remains the same and you will not be refunded but you will be entitled to your deposit back. Once a hat has been sent out it is deemed a hire and even if not worn there will be no refund.
Once we have check over the hat and it is deemed satisfactory we will return your deposit to you within 24 hours.
It is the responsibility of the customer to return the hat it’s in originally packaging. You can return it in person or via special delivery. The hat is the responsibility of the customer until it is returned to Little Threads.
All hats and headbands remain the property of Little Threads.
