I have always had an interest in fashion and enjoyed creative activities but a busy life, career and family life meant that it was only ever a brief 'me time' activity. Lockdown in 2020 gave me the time and opportunity to begin a whirlwind path to pursue a passion beyond my wildest dreams!

I have been fortunate to have received tutoring from a number of prestigious milliners, both in person at Millinery Studios in London, and virtual which has enabled me to develop and hone my skills.

I have had the pleasure of helping a great number of wonderful clients to complete their special day outfits. I have exhibited at wedding shows and have been delighted to win the New Wedding Business of the Year at the Essex Wedding Awards 2023. I followed this by winning Mother of the Bride/Groom Retailer in 2024 and Highly Commended in the Unique Service category for 2025.

In March 2023 one of my designs was chosen to be displayed at an international millinery exhibition 'Over the Top' organised by the Spanish Millinery Association in Barcelona. I was delighted to have been able to attend and meet some wonderful, hugely talented milliners from around the world!

I have continued to hone my craft and learn new techniques and love designing bespoke creations for clients.

I am incredibly honoured to have been granted the Freedom of the Worshipful Company of Feltmakers in October 2025, the ancient livery company of the City of London associated with millinery industry.

My Story

My Ethos

I believe we all deserve to be confident and feel beautiful.

For many of us getting our outfit just right plays a large part in making us feel amazing.

My passion is all about helping you to enjoy the excitement and anticipation that a special occasion brings and give you confidence to enjoy the day to the full.

My elegant creations can be bought as displayed or made bespoke to your colour or design variations to add that wonderful finishing touch to your outfit.

I was hugely influenced in the 80's in my teenage years by strong, confident female pop icons -

so lets 'Celebrate' ourselves because.....

'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!!'

Sustainability

I am a keen champion of sustainability and strive to make my business as environmentally responsible as possible. This is why I decided to offer a hire service as selling an item to be worn on just one occasion is an inherent challenge.

Materials

Most of my designs are made from sinamay, a delicate mesh like material made sustainably from the stalks of the Abaca plant native to The Philappines. The Abaca fibres are handwoven by individuals or families working together in small cooperatives.

I have sourced a sinamay supplier who has built up a long standing and supportive relationship with these cooperatives. This avoid brokers and ensures that fair and better payment goes directly to the producing communities.

I use wooden hat blocks which have been made by small independent crafters or purchase pre-loved vintage blocks.

I aim to use alternatives to plastic products throughout my studio.
