Differentiate by targeting the luxury artisan market rather than the heritage Americana segment.

Adopt a minimalist aesthetic by forgoing a hat pin to focus on material quality and subtle details like a hand-sewn edge and a luxurious jacquard silk liner. Emphasize 'bench-made' craftsmanship over a specific historical narrative.
