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.

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.
