Heimbach explained, “ An example of that will be our first fashion and hat showcase event on Sunday, July 10 It’s really going to be a fun event! The Rage Monthly asked Heimbach to explain why people should consider buying locally as opposed to online? “With hats in particular you really need to try them on. Think of it like buying jeans, you wouldn’t just buy a pair online that you never tried on, would you? There is a lot to consider. Fit, style and proportions...Hats really are a tangible thing.” As for buying locally, “We are firm believers that people should support all the small unique businesses San Diego has to offer. Ones that have a personal investment in seeing their community thrive. We are a small business with fewer than 60 employees, although we have a large online presence, we encourage every customer to stop into a store. We find it best to make a personal connection with our customers. Our online store has never interfered with our love for those that have supported our brick and mortar locations. We are not here to convince people to buy hats we are here to make them feel good about themselves.” When asked why for some, hats are considered “old fashioned” and for others they never go out of style, the response was succinct, “They never go out of style. All fashion has its trends and hats have transcended from a movement into a full blown addiction for many. It’s like having the perfect shoes for that perfect outfit. Sometimes you just really, really need a hat to set the look off.” The Village Hat Shop, aside from its grand
