Couture Millinery, hand made for you
This jade green felt percher was a bit of an experiment if I’m honest….and I’d say it turned out to be a good one! So I had a new block in a tear drop percher shape.

There are two colours that are always found in my wardrobe: 1 – leopard print. 2 – red. So I was very excited to combine the two for this lovely fascinator. This heart fascinator is sewn onto a wide leopard print fur felt band. It has quite a 20s feel to the overall design and gives a striking finish to any …

I got the material for this and pondered on what design I wanted to do with it for a while. Then I had a bit of an Eureka moment. This was the result. This hat is a large inverted hat made of a pink fish net ramie. I didn’t want to complicate this hat by adding …
As usual I started out with an idea in my mind….and it turned out a lot better 🙂 I had wanted to do a lilac assymetrical disc and I wanted a mixture of flowers on both the top side and underside of the hat. I wasn’t sure how many flowers and if I would do just …
I do love a bit of gold….and hearts are my favourite shape. Yep, I’m a softy. So when I sat with these bronze, gold & cream Swarovski pearls in my hand….I just knew I wanted them to adorn a design in a mass of lusciousness. And so I did. I made this fascinator out of a lovely …

If I told you where I got the inspiration for this fascinator from you may laugh……it was whilst watching Die Hard! I promise you that! 🙂 I was sat watching Bruce Willis fight the baddies at Christmas at home with the family and I saw all of these explosions and slow motion movement. To me …

So I wanted to do a design that was mainly focused on the layered lace effect that was so prominent last year, and has followed through to this year too. And so after lots of thinking about the best design for it and the overall shape and feel…..I went for this….. I wanted the delicate …

Here is another lovely hat that was featured in my Spring / Summer 2012 collection. It’s a nude straw base and I love the simplicity of the design, but that it also has a lot of movement to it, without being really “in your face!” If you know what I mean 🙂 I like …
