BEHIND THE DESIGN

ABOUT MY HATS

A well made quality hat not only looks good, but when made well with traditional features brings confidence and natural presence to the wearer. The difference is similar to that between an off-the-peg suit and a bespoke suit.

Whether you would like a hat for a special occasion, a wedding, for the races, an award ceremony, to feel good in, or something stylish or head turning, I will work with you to achieve the perfect hat.

The attention is in the detail, so whether it’s colour matching to an outfit by dying the material or sourcing a particular fabric to achieve a look, we can talk through some ideas to give you a truly bespoke finished article.

THE FINEST MATERIALS

QUALITY AND CRAFTMANSHIP

Each hat I make is a labour of love using the finest materials. Traditionally made they include the following features (where applicable to the type of hat and style).

• Hand made
• The best materials:
  
  - The finest silks, velvets and fabrics
  - Real feathers
  - Luxurious felt; peachbloom felt rather than wool felt for a softer feel
  
  
• Hand sewn silk linings
• Genuine Swarovski crystals
• Flowers are hand made, petal by petal, from silk using traditional tools and techniques
• The finest lace; Guipure lace and corded lace
• A choice of colour matched head fittings; comb, elastic or head band
• Presented in a Gorgeous Hat Company hat box
