Tiona Deniece
This week we’re featuring the one and only Tiona Deniece. Known well in the sneaker community, she’s making a name for herself in the fitted hat world as well. She’s fresh off a collaboration with Hat Club and continues to grow her collection. Let’s jump in.
Tell us a little bit about yourself and when you fell in love with fitted caps?
I’m Tiona Deniece, Singer-Songwriter, Content Creator, Host and Philanthropist. I used to wear a lot of snap backs and I still have a bunch. I went to a Yankees game and that’s when I bought my first crown, and ever since then I loved the look and that was kinda it for me.
How many caps do you currently have in your collection?
Great question, I think about 75, maybe more. That includes fitted and snap backs. I have to figure out better storage bc they are everywhere lol.
When shopping for a new cap, what draws your attention?
Color for sure. I’m usually open when it comes to the team, but I normally gravitate to Yankees first. I also love a good background story, what made the designer go this route, etc.
Do you have any crazy stories or adventures for trying to purchase a cap?
When my friend Jonas, dropped his hat with Hat Club I HAD to have it. It’s this beautiful red Yankees, and when it was supposed to be delivered it never showed up! So I had to go to the post office, went to my neighbors house and everything trying to locate it. I was about to give up and then I head a box hit my front door the next day or so and my hat just magically showed up!
What cap have you been reaching for the most lately?
I’m absolutely reaching for my hat, the “Buff & Broc” collab I did with Hat Club. I’m in love with it lol not bc it’s mine, but it’s perfect for the season and in my opinion, it’s just a perfectly executed crown.
Are there any caps that you’re still on the hunt for?
I was going too crazy for the Jeff Staple x Hat Club collab — I ended up grabbing it. It’s a little big but I don’t care lol. I’m still wanting to collect all of the Jae Tips x Hat Club collections too, the colors are so good.
Last, is there anything you want to see more of when it comes to fitted hats?
I’d love to see more female collaborators.
