Headwear is formed by hand from fine materials and tailored to the wearer. Each piece is a wearable sculpture and has a fingerprint as unique as the eventual owner. Trimmings and details are created & hand sewn in place by the milliner. Fine details include handcrafted pure silk florals, meticulous beaded trim, artfully pleated ribbons, and skillfully shaped feathers.
