"I make hats because I want to put beautiful things into the world and help people connect their inner magic with what they can present on the top of their heads.  I have been a milliner since 2002 and I love the connections I get to make with people, being a part of your celebratory events that hats help mark, and working with really luxe materials.  And I mean luxe..."

Cassie MacGregor stands as one of America's premier milliners, renowned for transforming headwear into wearable art. Embarking on her millinery journey in 2002, she honed her craft at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. In 2008, Cassie established The House of MacGregor in Dallas, Texas, where she has been crafting bespoke hats that blend traditional techniques with contemporary flair.

Her creations have become a staple at prestigious events like the Kentucky Derby, where attendees seek her distinctive designs to make a statement. Cassie's dedication to the craft and her innovative approach have solidified her reputation as a leading figure in the millinery world.

Beyond her studio, Cassie has been an active contributor to the millinery community. Since 2023, she has served as the President of the Milliners Guild USA, advocating for the art of hat-making and supporting fellow milliners. In 2024, she joined the board of directors of The Headwear Association, underscoring her commitment to the broader headwear industry.

Cassie's work has garnered attention from various media outlets, including features in W, Southern Living,  D Magazine, Modern Luxury, and the Dallas Observer, highlighting her as a key figure in the fashion scene.

With over two decades of experience, Cassie MacGregor continues to inspire and lead, crafting exceptional headpieces that are celebrated nationwide.

Cassie works under the mantra that millinery is not science, it is art. No two hats turn out exactly the same and you get the best hat when you allow some room for the materials to do what they want to do.  The beauty of hats is that they are wearable sculptures on your head. This is not a factory operation but a craftsman based business striving to maintain traditional high quality service in a modern world. The House of MacGregor works with clients on fit and individual design to help bring their personal style to the outside.

“If a woman rebels against high–heeled shoes, she should take care to do it in a very smart hat.”
