Most stores sell hats.
But at Bonded by Gigi in downtown Lake Geneva, hats aren’t something you simply buy — they’re something you create, celebrate, and remember. That’s why the trucker hat bar experience has become one of the most talked-about things to do on a Lake Geneva girls trip, bachelorette weekend, birthday, or best-friend getaway.
People don’t just walk out with a cute accessory — they leave with a memory you can wear.
And that’s the magic.
It Started With a Simple Question — “How Can Fashion Feel More Personal?”
When Bonded by Gigi first introduced permanent jewelry to Lake Geneva, it became clear that people were craving experiences, not transactions. They wanted something meaningful, interactive, intentional — something that made them feel seen.
So the same energy was poured into another idea:
What if a hat could become a memory?
Not pre-decorated, not mass-produced — but designed by the person wearing it.
That’s how the Lake Geneva trucker hat bar was born.
Creativity Is the Heart of the Experience
At Bonded by Gigi, guests build their own custom trucker hat from start to finish. They:
-
choose a hat color and style
-
browse hundreds of curated patches
-
lay out their design using the hat board
-
finalize placement and balance
-
watch it be professionally pressed
-
optionally add a hat chain for extra personality
It transforms shopping into self-expression — which is why so many people search for:
-
“make your own trucker hat Lake Geneva”
-
“trucker hat bar Lake Geneva”
-
“custom Lake Geneva souvenir hats”
-
“creative girls trip activities Lake Geneva”
And they end up at Bonded by Gigi.

Hats Became a Way to Capture the Moment
Some hats give “girls weekend” vibes.
Others say “Lake Geneva forever.”
Some are funny. Some are sentimental. Some are pure aesthetic.
But all of them tell a story — who you were with, what you were celebrating, how you felt in that moment. And unlike a photo stored in your phone, you actually wear this memory out in the world.
That emotional connection is what turned custom trucker hats from a trend into a tradition.
Groups Made It Even More Special
Today, the hat bar is one of the most requested Lake Geneva bachelorette activities, and it’s easy to see why. Friends get to design together, hype each other up, laugh at patch choices, trade styles, and reveal their final creations like runway moments.
Mothers and daughters do it. Sisters do it. Best friends do it. Strangers become instant hype squads.
It’s a bonding experience disguised as fashion — and that’s the magic formula.
Designing Feels Like Play — and Adults Need That
We live in a world that doesn’t give grown-ups many chances to be creative just for fun. But at the hat bar, there’s no pressure to be “good at art.” You’re just rearranging patches, trying ideas, exploring color, laughing, trusting your instincts, and building something uniquely yours.
It’s creative joy — and everyone deserves that.

A Hat You’ll Actually Wear — Not Just Keep
A lot of souvenirs go in a drawer.
A custom hat doesn’t.
It goes to brunch. On the boat. To concerts. To work. To airports. To vacations and farmers markets and grocery runs. Everywhere.
And every time someone compliments it, you get to say,
“Oh, I made it in Lake Geneva.”
That’s powerful branding — and a powerful memory.
