About Betty&Bradley

The creator, Lauren Lombardo, was on one of her trips back from Italy during the holidays to visit her grandmother Betty in New York, when the idea for the Butterfly Hat was born. Jet lag, light, air conditioning and background noise, were elements Lauren sought to eliminate in effort to be more comfortable while flying or during post-travel recoup. Unable to find a comfortable sleep hat while keeping style and compactness in mind, Lauren drew inspiration from her origins and combined the elegance of Italy and New York City. Lauren loved to take a piece of home back to Italy where she taught painting workshops, to remind her of her grandmother. One of those items was her grandmother Betty’s butterfly suncatcher that overlooked her buzzing, plush garden where Lauren spent most of her time as a child.Read their story
