At State of Gracie, fashion and creativity merge in a love story that has endured since childhood. Our founder, Gracie Cohen, a passionate Mexican, has always had a restless heart and a mind filled with dreams. From a young age, New York City was in her dreams, and through fashion, design, and photography she found ways to bring her imagination to life with a touch of elegance and class.

Today, State of Gracie has the honor of sharing her life with Itzhak Cohen, one of the visionary founders of the prestigious brand Elie Tahari. Together, they have joined forces, and Itzhak, a mentor with extensive experience in all aspects of garment production, provides invaluable guidance and support. It was his profound experience that played a pivotal role in making the brand ET the success it is today.

The vision of Gracie is clear and passionate: to unite as many artisans as possible to enhance the work of master craftsmen with a touch of elegance and class. At State of Gracie, we not only celebrate fashion but also the skill, creativity, and dedication of those who craft each hat with love and mastery, and with a touch of elegance and class.

Each hat you’ll find in our store carries a unique story and the pride of Mexican craftsmanship. Meticulously crafted by talented artisans in Mexico, these hats are then personalized with the distinctive touch of New York in our workshop in the city. Gracie welcome you State of Gracie where fashion and a passion for art come together in a project that has been at the heart of Gracie since always, with an extra dose of elegance and class.
