Harts Ltd. also designs and produces costumes for International shows, pageants etc. from simple designs to more elaborate costumes, Harts produces cutting edge designs and top quality costumes.

HartsCarnival first began in 1961 with Edmond and Lil Hart and their Carnival presentation “”Was this Greece”". For the next 30 years Edmond and Lil continued to successfully produce Carnival bands. Edmond was famous for patterns, Lil for designing, and production was a family affair.
It was during these years that Lil became known as “”The First Lady of Mas”", since a bandleader was traditionally a position held by men.

Confusion reigned when Lil broke tradition and designed a band with a fantasy theme rather than a historical one which was common.

The Harts with the help of their children continued to produce bands until October 1990 when Lil passed away leaving three of her six children the dream of continuing the Harts Carnival band.

In 1991 Thais, Luis and Gerald successfully designed and produced their band, Total Recall, in memory of Lil and to this day each Harts Carnival Band produced for Trinidad is dedicated to Lil… in her memory, in her honour, with her dreams. The Band has continued to design and produce costumes at the highest standard and quality which has led them to become one of the largest, safest and most popular bands in the Caribbean. No other Band can compete with the Harts 50+ years of experience.
