FOUNDER
SALTWATER COWGIRL CO.
A free spirit with a myriad of passions, Deanna Christy loves surfing the waves as much as galloping on horseback; always wild at heart and dressed for the part.
Deanna discovered her love of western wear vibes as a child frolicking in her prized first pair of cowboy boots. Reminiscing about her youth and thinking back on how each boot tells a story, she realized that she could do the same with hats, putting her heart and soul into each one.
She founded Saltwater Cowgirl Co. in March 2025 and launched with her first event at The Boca Raton in August. After doing her due diligence to find authentic cattleman crown cowboy hats, she discovered a family-owned company out of Garland, Texas that made Wrangler cowboy hats for 20 years.
Deanna started doing small one-off custom designs for friends, then launched her brand full-on at private events featuring a pop-up hat bar, and a website for online purchases.
“It’s such an exciting niche here in South Florida, and my clients love that they can get a quality, custom-designed hat that is stitched, embroidered and branded to their unique style,” explains Deanna.
“From weddings to birthday celebrations, corporate events to golf tournaments, we bring the whole experience to the venue, where our designers create the perfect hat on-site with touches that resonate with each guest’s fashion sense. They leave with their new hats, feeling as amazing wearing them as I did in my first pair of boots,” she assures.
