About
My Millinery Journey
I have been in the Millinery business for many years having studied Fashion at the Grafton Academy in Dublin and later Millinery in London.
My love of hats and the level of detail and craftsmanship that goes into each hand made piece was further developed under the attentive eye of Milliner Jacinta Fahy.
My previous work as a costume maker in the Abbey Theatre and more recently and making hats for period TV dramas and films, has led some of my designs to have a slight theatrical theme. I have also worked with many of the leading Irish designers for their clients and fashion shows.
The Joy of Creation
Each of our bespoke hats is thoughtfully designed, hand-dyed, and crafted with care and attention to detail.
Our aim is to ensure every piece offers quality and lasting comfort, while capturing that elusive element of individuality and charm, incorporating all the elements of their outfit and personality.
When designing a bespoke hat or headpiece for a client it is not just about my ideas. It is important that the client feels engaged in the whole creative process from start to finish, from arriving with the fabric sample, to coming up with their design.
