In Old Town Spring, just north of Houston Texas, you’ll find the cutest little boutique – Martha Gene. This little shop is right off the main street and has all you could ever want in modern western wear, boho classics, and feminine fabulousness.
This adorable boutique is named after the owner’s grandparents – Martha and Gene. And you can see photos of them behind the register. But the main attraction we went for was the hat bar.
You’ll need to make a reservation online before you go to hold your spot. It’s $20 and that covers the cost of the hat stylist helping you put your hat together.
When we arrived, we met Brittany – the fabulous hat artist that was to help us design our hats. She showed us all of the hats to choose from and accessories and options that were available to us. First up, picking a hat. They have hats ranging in price from $30 to over $100, so you can pick the color and price point that best suits your needs. You can also bring your own hat with you if you have one you already own or picked out somewhere else.
Next up, the accessories. Armed with a little basket, you’re able to look over all of the ribbons, bands, feathers, and pins to create a style that’s uniquely yours. They even have some interesting options like wine corks, matchboxes, and playing cards – it was really fun playing with different ideas! Brittany was so amazing at helping us pick out items that went together and make decisions on what looked best. I’m super indecisive, so hearing her opinion on what went together best helped a lot. After all, she’s the pro at this.
Not only can you attach items to the hat, but you can also burn it as well through distressing, branding, and Brittany can even freehand designs on your hat.
In total, each hat we designed came out to about $80. But that price depends on the brand of hat you get and the amount of accessories you put on it.
We had such a great time at Martha Gene and I highly recommend you go there to get a fully customized hat for yourself!
