Peter Beaton is a Nantucket brand that celebrates people not so much for who they are, but how they live–with passion, generosity, and a captivating sense of style. Their signature collection of hats and totes are made from finely braided leghorn straw. All Peter Beaton hats and totes are lock stitched, giving you a product that is unequivocally the best. They are custom fitted, custom trimmed, and come in their own signature black and white striped box.
The Peter Beaton Coastal Classics Collection celebrates classic, down to earth, coastal living. Reminiscent of times gone by, the store is brimming with sailor shirts in every color and size, recycled sail bags, rope bracelets, Nantucket burgees, Wellies, umbrellas, and so much more.
The company was founded by Peter Beaton’s mother, Darcy Creech, after being unable to find the right hat to wear to a party back in 1989. She decorated a big brimmed panama hat with flowers, and took the party by storm. From there she tested prototypes during Nantucket’s Daffodil Weekend and quickly gained new customers. Next Darcy sent a hat to First Lady elect, Hillary Clinton enclosed with a simple note. A month later came an anonymous phone call from Little Rock, when Darcy was told that she had been chosen to make Hillary Clinton’s inaugural hat.
