    What a great experience! Making my custom hat from Paris❤️. I highly recommend and will do it again when I come back-
    Exceeded expectations!
    Marianne_H, Feb 2023
    This workshop far exceeded my expectations. Not only was it fun and informative, I came away with a great hat!
    Cool experience
    Rebecca_F, Jan 2023
    Super cool spot and an interesting thing to do. However, much much harder than we thought it would be and I can’t tell how high quality the hat is.
    Hats, Hats and More Hats!

    This was a fun adventure in Paris! Mary was wonderful and did a great job walking us through on how to design and make our own hat! Fun class and I walked away with a souvenir I made! Wish you had hat boxes so my hat would have a place to be stored for the trip home.. Great class!!! Thank you!!
    Once in a lifetime experience!!
    gabbie_r, Dec 2022
    This class was excellent! I am a hat lover and deeply appreciate everything that this experience was. Located in a quintessential fashion studio & shop- creating a chapeau with Marie at MiniMe Paris is unique and leaves you with much more than a cheesy souvenir. You make your own hat from start to finish. It’s perfection for anyone who has an interest in making a hat their own or a fun creative experience. I wore my hat all week and received numerous compliments from Parisians and fellow adventurers. I don’t speak more than a little French but Marie graciously accommodated speaking English. Merci beacoup, Marie!
    Super cool experience
    Samantha_G, Nov 2022
    This was a great experience! We really got to learn ALL hands on what it's like to make a hat. Every step of the way you are guided through this great experience. This experience is for young adults and adults. The space here is really cute and eclectic.
    An experience I will never forget

    This is one of the best experiences we’ve had in a long time! Amazing shop and the owner is fantastic! You really do get to make your own hat and it is an absolute joy! My wife and I were in Paris for our 25th wedding anniversary and always try to find unique and fun things to do. This was the best by far! So much fun and we love our hats!
    A Must do!

    This was truly an once in a lifetime experience shared with my daughter and daughter friend! We learned so much and now have customized hats that we made ourselves with all the help we needed!
    You won’t regret this experience!

    Anyone who loves or has an appreciation for a well-crafted hat should take this class! It was easy to follow but intensive. The end result is 100% worth it. If you can, upgrade to the rabbit fur and go for more accessories. They will help you lay them out beautifully for a truly one of a kind piece to take home

    Dominique_O, Sep 2022
    This was so fun. I had a great time learning how to make a trilby. The teacher and everyone there was great and so sweet. They have other classes and I might have to come back and do one or the other classes some day

    A unique experience. We really enjoyed making our own hats. When we are back in Paris we are going to do again! Maybe even a Jean jacket!
    Wonderful experience
    margaret_s, Jul 2022
    Did this with my two sons (19 and 17). We had so much fun, learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Was worried at first about giving up time for other things while in Paris, but this was time we’ll spent. We love our one of a kind hats! Definitely recommend.
