Owner & Founder
You Can Leave Your Hat On
You Can Leave Your Hat On is the brainchild of Sandra Gillman. After working as a criminal defense investigator/mitigation specialist for twenty-four years, Sandra retired and opened her hat shop in July of 2011.
For the last ten years of her career, Sandra worked mostly on Death Penalty cases. It was a very stressful job involving a lot of travel and spending many hours at correctional facilities with her clients. After her final client received the death penalty, Sandra decided it was time to retire.
Sandra and her husband, Kim (a retired State Trooper), traveled the world for ten years. During her travels to exotic lands such as Istanbul, New Zealand, Brazil, Argentina, Russia, Italy, France, and Tokyo (to name a few), Sandra discovered a love of hats and fine accessories. Her ability as an investigator to find unique and interesting things has led her on the journey to collect many beautiful items from around the world. This skill has allowed Sandra to discover unique hats for both men and women, as well as fascinators, scarves, jewelry, handbags, umbrellas, fans, and the many other items that fill her store.
Her boutique is an upbeat place where music plays and fresh local chocolates are sold (it’s a feel-good place). Gillman also gives customers the luxury of service with a smile. “When someone enters my store, I treat them like family, inviting them into my shop, offering they try on hats, ask questions and have a fun time.”
Gillman loves teaching customers how to wear hats. She has a booklet filled with famous hat quotes to give her shoppers the confidence they may need to put on their first hat.
