Founder, Shantelle Girard, has always had a passion for the western lifestyle while also loving the girly and chic side of fashion. She created the experience of customizing western-esque hats out of a vintage trailer she had in Folsom, California. The experience grew so quickly with people coming to town to try it that eventually there were three hour wait times at the trailer, and Shantelle knew she had something special to offer.
Shantelle opened her first store in April of 2023 in Folsom, California, which allowed her to rapidly grow her company even more to the point where she opened her second store in Scottsdale, Arizona just six months later in October 2023. The brand has become a wildly popular attraction to tourists, bachelorette parties, daily shoppers and lovers of the girly western lifestyle as well!
What makes Rancher Hat Bar different from other custom hat bars is the level of personalization that they offer. Typical hat bars allow you to customize a band for your hat and maybe add an accessory or two. RHB is different in the sense that not only do you get to customize a band, but also brand anything you’d like into the hat, burn the edges with fire, add custom felt, bead bands, pins, rhinestones, feathers, playing cards, sentimental accessories and more. Not to mention, everything is always on trend and very feminine. You can create everything from Taylor Swift theme, to a specific city theme, to your favorite sports team theme, a mix of all your favorite things.
