About this listen

On our recent trip through Albuquerque, New Mexico, we had the opportunity to meet Jessi Lloyd of Grey Collective Hats.

Since her cover feature in We Are Makers Edition 12 Jessi has downscalled from her retail space, started, funded and planned a huge creative space before funding was pulled, rebuilt her shop in her garage, and found a beautiful work around to continue to host her hat making courses in stylish Air BNB's all whilst keeping her thriving in person market approach of selling her hats alive.

Jessi, a lifelong maker, started Grey's Hats to serve her late husband's need for a hat. Through her husband's ill health, she has ardently pursued hat-making since day one and really found her stride with it.

She is one of the foremost hat makers in the world in our eyes and brings passion, excitement, and a willingness to do the work to everything she does.
