With nearly 1,000 unique styles and around 10,000 hats across all locations, the store prides itself on choice. Classic panamas? Check. Trendy teen styles? Covered. Baby bonnets, Scalas, Western vibes, Viking helmets, Carmen Miranda fruit toppers, and Egyptian pharaoh headpieces? Oh yes, they’ve got those too.

Quality is no afterthought here. Hats are made with premium materials like straw, felt, and more, all crafted with a keen eye for detail. The result?

The Desert Hatter's staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and downright enthusiastic about helping you find the one. They'll walk you through fits, colors, and styles, and even help you care for your new favorite accessory. They can stretch a shrunken hat, ship one as a gift, and ensure you walk out ready to face the sun-or the catwalk.

So whether you’re a local, a tourist, or just a hat enthusiast with high standards, The Desert Hatter is your go-to spot in Palm Springs. Come for the hat, stay for the experience.
