vintage trims

We love finding gorgeous vintage trims. A special and unexpected find can inspire that special headpiece. These delightful French cotton flowers will become part of a hat or fascinator some time soon...

we love retro style too!

We have been sourcing some just gorgeous retro trims and embellishments. If you love retro style, especially 1970s bold colours and patterns, stay tuned. We've sourced some funky fabrics and trims that will look divine on our upcoming range of hats and fascinators. Watch this space, pics are coming soon!
