The Idea
Angel founds Hillbilly Haute in Mountain Home — Ozark pride on a leather crest.
Hillbilly Haute
The people behind the hat
Angel Stout-Padovani and Gabby Morrell — Southern roots, high-fashion craft, and a brand built to wear where you come from.
Founder
Angel Stout-Padovani
Hillbilly Haute
Born and raised in Mountain Home, Arkansas, Angel grew up where Main Street still knows your name and a good day ends with lake light on the water. Style wasn’t a magazine to her — it was how people showed up: boots broken in, Sunday best pressed, pride worn without apology.
Hillbilly Haute started with her idea: put Ozark pride on a leather crest people could wear anywhere. She designs every piece and brings the products to life — from the stamp to the finished hat.
In 2026 she founded the brand around that craft: rugged roots, elevated finish, handcrafted in the USA. Built for neighbors, weekend travelers, and anyone who wants their hat to say where they come from.
“High fashion doesn't have to forget the land that raised you.”

Hillbilly Haute
Hi, I’m Gabby!
I’m the owner of Urban Chic Boutique and the co-owner, designer, and creator behind Hillbilly Haute.
Creating clothing and graphics has always been a passion of mine. Each Hillbilly Haute design begins as an idea, blending authenticity, style, and a little bit of country charm. Our mission is to celebrate hardworking women, small-town roots, and the confidence to embrace your unique style.
I met Angel in Mountain Home, Arkansas! Two hometown dreams crossing paths. The partnership was instant. Urban Chic Boutique became Hillbilly Haute’s flagship home. Together, we’ve combined our passion, creativity, and vision to grow Hillbilly Haute into something we’re incredibly proud of.
Thank you for supporting our small business and being part of our journey. Every order, like, and share helps us continue doing what we love. We truly couldn’t do it without you. Welcome to the Hillbilly Haute family!
“Just a small town girl chasing a big dream.”
