FAQ’S
-
Are your Millinery pieces all one-of-a kind bespoke designs?
Yes they are! When you wear one of our hats or fascinators, you're indulging in something truly exceptional. No one else will be wearing the exact same piece anywhere on this planet. How awesome is that?! While we might create replicas in different colours occasionally, when replicating a design there will always be a distinct unique element to ensure each piece stands as a genuine masterpiece of its own.
-
How do I determine my hat size?
Most of our designs are thoughtfully created to sit comfortably on top of the head, ensuring a perfect fit for all head sizes. Whether you have a small or large head circumference, our hats are designed to suit you. Additionally, our fitted boater style hats are 57cm in diameter, fitting most standard ladies' heads. No need to worry; our hats are meant to be versatile and flattering for everyone.
-
Are your hats and headpieces adjustable for a secure fit?
They sure are! We know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident wearing your headpiece. Most of our designs come equipped with hat elastic and occasionally metal combs for easy and secure attachment. The hat elastic can be easily secured with bobby pins into your hairstyle, providing extra stability, especially on windy days.
-
How do I care for and clean my hat or headpiece?
Your special headpiece deserves proper care to keep it in pristine condition. Always store your headpieces in the hat box provided when not in use. To clean, gently use a soft bristle brush or lint roller to remove dirt, dust, and lint. For delicate trims like feathers, ribbons, and flowers, a hair dryer on a low cool setting can help remove any dust. With proper care, your headpiece will be a cherished accessory for years to come.
-
Do you offer international shipping and what are the shipping rates?
Yes, we are thrilled to offer worldwide shipping for our hats and headpieces. Simply add your desired items to the cart, and the shipping rates will be calculated based on your location. Wherever you are, we'll ensure your headpiece reaches you with care and love.

-
Are your hats and headpieces suitable for outdoor events?
Yes, our hats and headpieces are designed to stand out and withstand the elements. We suggest securing them firmly to your head with the provided hat elastic or bobby pins on particularly windy days. While our designs are crafted with durable materials, please protect your hat from moisture and rain to maintain its integrity. Wetting the hat while wearing it can reverse this shaping process and alter its silhouette. Likewise, avoid exposing your headwear to high temperatures or leaving it in hot cars, as the delicate materials used, can become distorted due to extreme heat.
-
What materials are used to make your hats and headpieces?
We use only the finest materials to create our masterpieces. Our foundation materials include Nappa leather, Parisisal, Silk Abaca, and Sinamay, each carefully selected for their luxurious texture and craftsmanship. For embellishments, we adorn our hats with Goose Nagoire Feathers, Vintage Veiling, Crystal Swarovski, Preciosa Diamantes, and more. We take pride in supporting local suppliers, and even our hat blocks are proudly made in Australia.
