Cha Cha’s House of Ill Repute was founded by Dina Pisani (AKA, Cha Cha) in August of 2001. Originally meant to be a retail shop, Cha Cha quickly expanded into wholesale, selling her hats around the world. Known for her unique take on classic styles, Cha Cha enjoys playing with the form of millinery to create unique pieces that often feature her signature leather piping on the brim. 

Linda Pagan, owner of The Hat Shop encouraged her to expand her business to include private-label. The Hat shop was her first client. Today Cha Cha enjoys working with small to medium size hat brands to produce their collections as well as with hat retailers to create their in-house brands while also growing her wholesale client base and doing custom pieces too. 

Cha Cha’s Hats have been worn by celebrities including Alicia Keyes, Pink, Justin Timberlake and Britany Spears. Cha Cha has also worked with costume designers to create unique pieces for stage and film. You can find Cha Cha’s House in their new location in Brooklyn.
