Hats have been a passion of mine for a long time. I would wear them in any form from berets to felt and straw hats. But mostly I am inspired by the snug fit of a cloche style hat, which is the key shape in most of my hats.
My inspiration come from the 1920s cloche/cap, which I’ve transformed, into a modern urban hat. I create wearable, functional hats for every day use, with minimal accessories.
My hats stand out through the shape and colour, or colour combination, simple lines and geometric shapes, understated and modern.
I’m using mostly wool felt, and occasionally fur felt. They are blocked over traditional wooden hat blocks. I accessorise with buckles and buttons, preferably unique vintage pieces, but some styles require new resin or fabric buttons.
