ABOUT THE PROCESS

Sometimes it’s nice to take the scenic route and honour the process as much as the product.

Each one of our hats and headpieces are made in our Melbourne studio, situated right on Merri Creek in Brunswick. 

Materials are sourced locally where possible- silks are purchased and colour matched as needed from bridal ateliers in Melbourne and the petersham ribbons on your hat are imported from small manufactures in France and England.

If there is embroidery on your hat, it is stitched it in our studio, if there are flowers they are stiffened, cut, shaped and assembled in our studio also. Each hats is blocked, stitched and trimmed in house. It’s important to hold onto these processes. It makes every piece unique and preserves traditional techniques that may otherwise be forgotten.
