Southern Ruetz

Get creative with our expert artists and design your very own custom hat in one of our uniquely themed, Charleston-inspired rooms. This Insta-worthy spot used to be a historic law firm, adding a touch of history to your experience! Pick your hat style and color from four tiers and choose your favorite accessories from a variety of wraps, feathers, vintage fabrics, and pins. Then comes everyone’s favorite part – branding and burning!

We carry high-quality hats in straw, 100% Australian wool, and our luxury blends where we hand-shape your entire hat from the crown on down! Create matching hats for your bachelorette party, birthday outing, or group event, or design something totally unique!

Once you’ve created your masterpiece, take a stroll through Makers Mall, located just upstairs. Explore over 40+ women-owned small businesses featuring a variety of creators breaking traditional molds. Southern Ruetz is truly a unique place for you and your group!
