El Paso's Native-owned Aghaa' Hat Co. pops up at Hey I Like it Here during the Trans-Pecos Festival of Music + Light. After spending 20 years in New York, Cynthia Gutierrez-Krapp’s journey into hat making and beading in her hometown has been an act of reclaiming her ancestors' history and traditions. All of her hats are built to last a lifetime; handmade, hand creased, hand sewn and made of rabbit fur felt or repurposed vintage beaver fur felts. Cynthia will be on hand with ready-to-purchase hats, hat bands and accessories, and vintage and modern jewelry from Silver Spur Designs in El Paso.
