Shop Updates and Improvement

If things have been a little quiet on my blog lately, I apologise. I have been concentrating on making improvements and updates to my online shop. I feel that these improvements will make it a lot easier to find the information that you may be looking for about my fascinators, making it easier to order and purchase with confidence. These updates include:

• The ability to pay be credit card or Etsy gift vouchers
• Shipping policies
• Refund policies
• Shade cards for different materials - making it easier to order fascinators in different colourways
• Dimensions of fascinators
• Details of all materials used
• The ability to chose whether your fascinator will be on a headband, comb or elastic (where appropriate)
• Details of how items are packaged for shipping.

In the next couple of weeks I hope to be improving the photography of my products, and uploading new images. Watch this space!

In the meantime, I am also busy beavering away making a custom order. I hope to be able to share some photos of that within the next couple of days.

Original, Bespoke, Unique

Creating original designs is one of the great joys I find in millinery work. Subtle changes like a slight alteration to a cutting pattern, a different twist in the fabric, or the use of different trimmings can produce dramatically different results. Take, for example, my latest finished piece. Just a small change to a cutting pattern that I have used many times before, a bit of imagination, and ta da! A new design, that I personally think is elegant, sophisticated and striking. I particularly love the chic colour of the graphite sinamay and the delicate black feathers.

I have recently been working on a number of bespoke fascinators. Custom orders based on the individual requirements of the customer. Whether it be adapting a design, or reproducing an item in a different colourway to match an outfit, I find working on bespoke orders very rewarding. If you are interested in commissioning a custom piece, please contact me.

Bespoke item in new colourway

As all my items are hand crafted, no two pieces are quite the same. I use the highest quality materials, many of which are natural rather than synthetic, and in themselves contain variations. Pieces are finished to suit both the design and the qualities of the materials, resulting in a unique fascinator.
