Our Story

Not our first rodeo - but it is our second.

We're Katelyn & Krista two Nashville business owners who met while working local markets and events. We each have our own brands but quickly realized we share the same creative vision. What started as a friendship turned into a partnership built on style, experience, and a love for creating something meaningful. 

Inspired by Nashville’s booming event scene, western fashion trend, and the desire for more personalized shopping experiences, Sutton & Suede was created to bring custom cowboy hats to life in a way that feels elevated, stylish, and uniquely personal.

Every hat is customized by hand with carefully selected ribbons, scarves, branding, pins, and accessories so each piece reflects the personality and story of the person wearing it. Whether you’re visiting Nashville, celebrating a special event, or simply looking for a statement piece, Sutton & Suede is about more than hats, it’s about the experience.

The name "Sutton" was inspired by Katelyn's daughter, making our brand feel personal from the very beginning and always a reminder that the best businesses are built with heart behind them.
