You have to start somewhere… 🍃 Today it was with a piece of green velvet fabric.
With a little bit of shaping, this flat piece of fabric was transformed into something with dimension, movement and life.
Because in millinery, little details make all the difference 💚

Forget Spotify, this is what I’ll be listening to while I create my Spring Racing orders in the next month 😂😂😂 it’s better than wrestling and arguing I guess 😜🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
This custom creation was picked up from my studio today and my customer’s reaction filled my heart so much!!! 🥹❤️
We designed, changed, tweaked and refined this headpiece together until it felt just right.
I LOVE creating custom pieces like this. ✨
I can’t wait to see the whole outfit come to life!!!
Getting a hat safely to its new owner is just as important as creating it.
Delicate trims, feathers and sculptural shapes can’t just be wrapped up and placed in a box. They need the VIP treatment…
So I create a custom cardboard brace (with a wire frame) to prevent anything from being crushed, bent or damaged in transit.
Because when your hat leaves my studio, I want it to arrive exactly as it left. 🤍
