About the brand

At Heirloom Hats, the timeless craft of millinery is reimagined through colour, whimsy, and an unmistakable sense of delight. Founded by Samantha-Tara Mainville in Montreal, this studio channels a jeweller’s precision and an artist’s eye into handmade hats that are equal parts wearable and collectible. Influenced by her love of vintage treasures and guided by expert training, Samantha creates bold, sculptural silhouettes that feel fresh, expressive, and deeply personal. Her work has even graced the halls of Montreal’s top art museums—an elegant nod to the line where fashion meets art. Whether it’s a statement piece or an everyday favourite, each hat is crafted with care and meant to be treasured for generations.
