Bespoke Millinery
Every special occasion deserves a hat that is as individual as the person wearing it.
Whether you have a clear vision in mind or simply know the occasion you’re dressing for, I would be delighted to work with you to create a piece that feels uniquely yours. From elegant occasion hats and fascinators to beautifully handcrafted headbands, every bespoke commission is approached with care, creativity and an unwavering attention to detail.

Perhaps you’ve seen one of my existing designs but would like it in a different colour, with alternative embellishments, or with subtle changes to make it perfect for you. Or maybe you’re looking for something entirely original, designed from the very beginning around your outfit, your style and your personality. Whatever you have in mind, I will work closely with you to bring your vision to life.
Every hat is individually handcrafted in my Norfolk home using traditional millinery techniques, carefully selected fabrics, vintage embellishments, genuine freshwater pearls, delicate feathers, and thoughtfully sourced materials. No two pieces are ever exactly alike, making each creation as unique as the person who wears it.
I believe that true luxury lies in the details, including those that remain hidden. Every hat is beautifully lined with sumptuous silk, soft cashmere, or fine wool, chosen to provide exceptional comfort as well as a luxurious finish. Nestled inside each piece is a small vintage brass motif, a discreet signature that reflects my love of history, craftsmanship, and the beauty found in thoughtful finishing touches. To me, the inside of a hat should be every bit as exquisite as the outside.
Bespoke Pricing
If you would simply like to personalise one of my existing designs—for example by changing the colour, adjusting embellishments or making subtle alterations—there is no additional bespoke design fee.
Likewise, for completely original commissions, I do not charge an additional fee simply because your piece is bespoke. Your quotation reflects only the craftsmanship, carefully selected materials, and time required to create your hat. Every bespoke design is individually priced according to the complexity of the commission, and once I understand your ideas and requirements, I will provide you with a personalised quotation before any work begins.
I believe everyone should have the opportunity to own a truly bespoke creation, and I am proud to offer a personal service without adding unnecessary bespoke charges.
