Hello

 

 

 

About:

Reesie’s Marvelous Hats was fashioned by me, Carla Smith—a Life Coach, Business Mentor, and now Author—for the inspiration and positive vibe of reassuring people of their potential. After being asked countless times, “What is your story?” I decided it was time to write a book and add “Author” to my list of titles. That book, Leveling Above The Clicks, shares my journey from humble beginnings and pop-up shops to entrepreneurship and empowerment.

I believe my hats are a reflection of self-worth—and you can reward yourself with a hat that inspires.

From luxurious pieces to elegant classics and eloquent designs, my hats capture the spirit of life’s many positive moods. They not only offer timeless fashion but also tell a story. Uplifting, Magnificent, and Sensational are just a few of my hats’ inspiring names. My hats speak your language—an exuberant piece for each and every day—providing a path for people to stand out, feel good, and walk confidently.

For me, the truest expression of Reesie’s Marvelous Hats is to uplift all of us—supporting one another and our community—so that we all feel vested in investing in ourselves and, in turn, in those around us.

My hats have a history of inspiring and empowering people to be bold, look their very best, and carry themselves with the pride they deserve. Please see all the five-star reviews on Google and on the website under reviews.

Your bold, confident life begins HERE—because I want you to “Be That in A Hat!”

I had the absolute pleasure of being featured on GBH News Rooted with the amazing Host Paris Alston!
We talked about hats, heritage, and the inspiring story behind REESIE’S Marvelous Hats — the first and only Black woman-owned inspirational hat store in Massachusetts. 
Sunday's Best - From faith to fashion, this journey has been about more than just style… it’s about self-worth, confidence, and community.
Thank you, GBH and Paris Alston for giving me the space to share not only my story, but the power behind every crown we wear on every occasion.
