an interview series with Goorin collectors

#HatWallWednesday Stories Vol.7
Since we interact with so many hat-lovers on our social media channels, Nicky (our social media and community manager), started asking frequent Goorin collectors about their collections, why they love hats, and to share what their hat walls at home look like! 
 
Our next interview in this #hatwallwednesday series is with Samuel Albornoz, of Caracas, Venezuela currently residing in Orlando, Florida -  Check out the interview with Nicky and Samuel below!

 

Q: When did you begin your Goorin Bros. adventure? / A: Almost 3 years ago. I remembered the first day I saw my first cap from The Farm. I stopped a random guy while I was working and asked him “excuse me sir where did you got that hat? It’s fire” (it was the classic black stallion) and he said that I should look online for Goorin Bros. hats.

Q: When did you begin to realize you were starting a collection? / A: Well if I am completely honest I would say in the first moment I bought! Because I went straight to the website and I couldn’t choose just one so I ended up buying 6 of them. The main reason I will say it’s because I’m an animal lover and I knew from the beginning that with so many options one wasn’t enough. Q: Was there a mind shift somewhere along the way where you knew you were about to embark on something bigger? / A: Yes when I noticed how excited people get about all the different animals. I started to talk a lot about the branding and quality that made me feel part of the company! That gave me the opportunity to think about my future being a part of it.  I knew I wasn’t just a regular and sporadic shopper of a regular brand.

Q: What are these hats fulfilling from within that has made you keep going and adding to your collection? / A: Every single hat has its own personality so none of them make you feel the same. The creativity and elaboration of these hats is growing, so there’s never a reason to not keep adding hats to your collection.

Q: What are your top three favorite hats that your own? / A: These three below!Q: Any that you missed or think that we should bring back or make for the first time? / A: Recently I missed a beautiful collection that included the Carousel horse and I really want to see that coming back also I would love to see a mythological creatures collection. 

Q: You are a brand ambassador, how has that been going? / A: This experience as an ambassador has been really great for me! Like the great quality of the hats, Goorin has great people and every single one of them makes you feel like family! Also they are always looking to give us incentives and tools to grow in the company and learn a little more everyday about this magical brand.Q: Any message you wanted to give to our customers about why you choose Goorin and why you choose to continue adding more and more hats to your collection? / A: There’s not enough words to describe how amazing these hats are and I know I’ve been using this word a lot but I’m also honest. This brand gives you the opportunity to combine beauty and quality in single every product. And you can’t go wrong because you can use a hat for any occasion. Read this clearly! There’s never enough Goorin Bros hats in your house!
