From an early age my mother and both grandmothers encouraged and taught me to draw, knit, sew, crochet and also embroider. Although I got a psychology degree and planned my carreer in Human Resources, my way turned after I spent time with a great teacher, "milliners’ milliner" - Rose Cory, royal milliner to late Queen Mum. She taught me couture millinery techniques with attention to the elaborate details to create long lasting heirloom pieces with no visible stitches.
Premium quality fabrics, pure silks, feathers and millinery material come from shops in London, where are like to travel. Much of my inspiration comes from these materials as well as from my customers when working on bespoke hats.
My biggest motivation and satisfaction are my lovely customers - happy brides and bridesmaids.
