Eric Javits is a New York City-based design house founded in 1985 that creates accessories for women who lead active lifestyles, including hats, handbags, shoes, and small accessories. Hats are produced by hand blocking and hand finishing by skilled artisans, reflecting the brand's emphasis on craftsmanship. The company operates with a small to mid-sized team, and its founder is a recognized figure in fashion, noted as a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America and Hat Designer of the Year and Hat Designer of the Decade (1990–1999).

Its signature Squishee material—trademarked fiber braid developed in 1995—combines durability with lightness, breathability, and shape retention, while offering substantial sun protection by blocking about 95% of ultraviolet rays. Eric Javits products are distributed through fine department and specialty stores in the United States and internationally, and have appeared in major fashion publications such as Vogue, W Magazine, Bazaar, Vanity Fair, Town & Country, and Elle.
