Av Grannan is an artist in Chicago who upcycles leather goods into inventive accessories. One of the gems of her website appropriately named Sublime Remains is this functional chessboard hat.

When the hatband is unsnapped, the hat flat. You can then play chess on it with the pieces slipped into the sides.

Grannan makes many inventive cross-body bags, such as this one shaped like a baby deer.

She's especially fond of horseshoe crabs and offers many hats shaped to resemble them.
