Today is the first day back in the studio and we've had a busy day with finishing hats for boutiques & two
private appointments - a hire for a January wedding and re-trimming a vintage
velvet hat.
We are regularly asked to alter and 'lift' vintage hats that need a bit of work - from re-trimming to complete alterations - and we are very happy to do this. We were recently asked to work on several vintage fur hats for two clients. The first client brought several vintage fur pieces inherited from her Mother. We re-sized two of them to fit her and used the others to replace tired & worn out pieces. Here is an image of the work in progress:

The second client brought a vintage mink fur hat to be turned into a wide fur headband. I cut out the top of the hat and curled it round, padding it out with wadding and stitching it by hand to a suede felt strip to create the tube shape.
We have also altered Spring Summer hats for weddings including adding silk flowers, re-sashing and re-steaming damaged hats. Let us know if you have an existing hat that needs re-working or a bit of a lift!
