About Thistle and Rose Studios

Welcome to Thistle and Rose Studios, where every hat is more than just an accessory—it’s a wearable work of art, crafted with passion and purpose. The Heart and Hands Behind the Craft Hi, I’m Melissa Wooten, the heart and hands behind Thistle and Rose Studios. My journey into hat design began with a deep appreciation for nature’s beauty and a love for artistic expression. Although I now call Auburn, CA home, I grew up all over Northern California and recently spent time on the beautiful Southern Oregon coast. These diverse landscapes have continually inspired my creativity and fueled my desire to create unique, handcrafted hats that embody both art and personal expression. At Thistle and Rose Studios, we believe in the power of self-expression to inspire confidence and joy. Each piece is crafted with the highest quality materials and utmost care, designed to make you feel unique and beautiful. Our custom hat bar experience allows you to create something truly special, reflecting your own personality and style. When I’m not designing, I cherish time with my family and being actively involved in our local community. Every hat I craft is a piece of my heart, and I’m excited to share this journey with you.
