New York is unusual in having many boutiques. Most towns seem to just have malls with chain stores. New York also has many hat makers (fierce individualists with long fashion antennae). This meetup is an opportunity for the stores and the hat makers to meet each other, chat, exchange insights and possibly plan future collaboration.
