The Little Christmas hat project

The Little Christmas Hat™ project is a commercial venture designed to spread the festive joy of Christmas to more quarters of society. The Hat is designed by a local design house, ShanLee Design, and is wholly managed now by Alfestco. To make these Little Christmas Hats, low/no income local housewives are gathered and furnished with raw red velvety cloth and white fur, and are taught how to cut, sew and assemble these materials into a fun, festive Christmas Hat. The idea is to sell these handmade hats at a profit to individuals and organizations to fund an income for these housewives. Further, a good portion of the remaining profits generated is channeled towards good charities who do greater good for society. Singhealth Foundation for CURE causes is the adopted Beneficiary for 2009's project.

Thru this entrepreneurial setup, Singaporeans are provided with a unique festival hat that fits all ages. People have fun basking in Christmas joy and taking nice photos for the memories. Stay-at-home housewives are given a little more financial independence, and can partake in a slightly more comfortable journey towards self-reliance. And a local charity benefits with more funding to further bring benefits to other quarters of society. The festive joy of Christmas is embodied in this heart-warming little hat that spreads warm and joy to all. It is a project made proudly by Singaporeans, for Singaporeans.

The Little Christmas Hat is retailed at $5 a hat, with every street sale raising $1 and every wholesale sale raising $0.5 for CURE causes. Click here to buy now or head down to one of our selling venues to support the project! Read more about the Hat here.
