The 'Hatseflats' necklace is a gold-coloured costume chain with a rectangular openwork plaque featuring the word Hatseflats in individual letters. It is designed for adults and children who want to wear a slogan around their neck during carnival or at a tacky party instead of a regular piece of jewellery. The plaque is attached to the chain at both top corners, so the text hangs in front of your chest like a nameplate.

What does hatseflats actually mean?
Hatseflats is a Dutch exclamation used when something happens suddenly and effortlessly, similar to 'hooray' or 'ready'. Its lighthearted sound immediately sets a cheerful tone, making it suitable as a party accessory. During carnival, you shout it to each other in the pub or along the parade route, and at a tacky party, it fits in with the ironic bling. A nameplate on a chunky gold chain is also a nod to the flashy necklaces worn in hip-hop.
A complete outfit to match the gold chain
The gold and openwork letters stand out best against a plain shirt or sweater in a dark colour, as the text contrasts sharply. For a tacky party, complete the look with a shiny tracksuit, sunglasses and a cap, so the bling of the chain is reflected in the rest of your outfit. During carnival, combine it with a traditional Dutch farmer's vest, a festive hat or a colourful wig, and wear it over your costume so that the word remains visible.
Get the 'Hatseflats' necklace and wear your favourite exclamation on your chest from now on, whether at carnival or your next tacky party.
