<p>Valeur is a designer from Tokyo who creates soft and beautiful handmade hats with unique designs that incorporate ideas of warmth, personal style, and value.  For Fall Valeur has lots of wrapping hats that have the look of a knit headband or scarf but that offer the warmth of a hat.</p>

<p>This cute wool knit turban is another unique style that I interpret as a combination of a wide headband and a knit hat that creates a fashionable look for Fall.  The best part is that it is reversible and features a heather gray jersey with blue polka dots fabric on the other side, but I couldn&#8217;t find an image of it anywhere!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lagarconne.com/store/index.htm" target="_blank">La Garconne</a> is one of the only online retailers where I was able to find Valeur hats, and they only have a small selection.  You can visit <a href="http://www.valeur-tokyo.com/" target="_blank">Valeur&#8217;s website</a> to find locations around the world where their hats are available.</p>

There are a variety of different pieces to choose from at L&#8217;ape zoppa&#8217;s store on Etsy.  You can choose between different sizes and colors.  Here are some of my favorites:

<p>There are a variety of different pieces to choose from at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6900361" target="_blank">L&#8217;ape zoppa&#8217;s store</a> on Etsy.  You can choose between different sizes and colors.  Here are some of my favorites:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.splendicity.com/files/2009/07/etsy-hair-comb-11.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-35790" src="http://www.splendicity.com/files/2009/07/etsy-hair-comb-11-300x297.jpg" alt="etsy-hair-comb-11" width="300" height="297" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=27949770" target="_blank">o11 Hair Comb</a> $24</p>
<p>This is probably one of the smallest pieces, although it still makes a statement with a unique design and bright turqoise, purple, and teal.  It will make a strong contrast in any hair color.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.splendicity.com/files/2009/07/etsy-hair-comb-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-35791" src="http://www.splendicity.com/files/2009/07/etsy-hair-comb-2-254x300.jpg" alt="etsy-hair-comb-2" width="254" height="300" /></a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=20895524" target="_blank">oo2 Hair Comb</a> $22</p>
<p>This is one of my favorite pieces because of the gentle earthy purple and green.  I love how diverse the look can be just by using different colors and embellishments.  This piece is on a long two-pronged comb and has square gold buttons.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.splendicity.com/files/2009/07/etsy-hair-comb-3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-35792" src="http://www.splendicity.com/files/2009/07/etsy-hair-comb-3-267x300.jpg" alt="etsy-hair-comb-3" width="267" height="300" /></a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=22682507" target="_blank">004 Flourish</a> $32</p>
<p>If you really want to make a statement, the Flourish pieces are for you!  Each Flourish piece is unique, so you can talk with the artist about colors and materials that you would like to be incorporated.</p>
