A work of art that happens to be worn on your head is the best way to describe the creations of milliner Diana Cavagnaro whose atelier/fashionable loft is located in the heart of the Historic Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego, California.

Diana, the “Hatter with a Heart”, is a national celebrity whose credits include numerous television appearances and articles in newspapers and magazines discussing the Art of Millinery, Fashion, and Hat Making. Diana’s creations have adorned the heads of many stars, celebrities, and socialites.

In her 30 years in the hat business Diana has gained a wealth of knowledge, which she shares with the hundreds of students who come from all over the United States to study millinery with her.

Located in the gorgeous Alpine Hills, this breathtaking property gives the feeling of a retreat with mountain air. Diana offers courses covering felt, raffia and straw hat making, amongst others.
