Made in the UK with quality materials and practical fittings, pieces combine individual style, comfort, and the option to customise for a perfect fit. Headwear with Flare - Be you! This passion for designing and making accessories started when I wanted a wedding with a difference. I was cruising around the wedding fayres and nothing was hitting my buttons. I made the right, but super stressful decision to create my own experience from scratch, for 250 people, 11 bridesmaids, 8 groomsmen, 1 page boy and a partridge in a pear tree. There was so much detail. I was in my absolute element. If I couldn’t source it I made it. Fast forward two years and the world came to a hault. Furlough meant that I had time to re-engage with things I like doing from garden decor to dressmaking, facemasks and of course fascinators and hats. I’ve been able to learn and grow. I now have a number of collections and what makes the experience even more special is the bit of excitement and bit of nerves when the customer opens their box of sparkly personality on a clip. To get a really smiley message, makes the glue gun burns and needle stabbings all worthwhile :) Take a look at the pieces that I have made from upcycled to completely handmade and hand stitched. If you have anything in particular in mind then just get in touch with your colours and budget.
