2/$15 Silver tone & red beaded charm bracelet. Red Hat Society charms. The Red Hat Society is an International Social organization founded in 1998 in the US for women aged 50 & beyond, now open to women of all ages. RHS members are easy to find, they wear red hats w/purple attire.
Sue Ellen Cooper, artist from California, purchased a red hat on trip to Arizona. She purchased another & gave it to a friend. Inspired by Jenny Joseph poem, “Warning“, popularized by Reader’s Digest article. Poem begins: “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple, w/a red hat which doesn’t go & doesn’t suit me.“ Cooper wanted to encourage her friends to grow older in a playful manner. She repeated the gift to several other friends & eventually several of them bought purple outfits & had a tea party on April 25, 1998, the RHS was born.
Cooper now serves as “Exalted Queen Mother“ of the organization. She has written 2 books about the society. 2020, membership has more than 35,000 members internationally. Members 50 & over are called “Red Hatters“ & wear red hats & purple attire to all functions. Woman under 50 wear pink hats & lavender attire to events until reaching her 50th birthday. Referred to as “Pink Hatters“. During her birthday month or RHS birthday month, members can wear colors in reverse.
