Phillip Rhodes Hats

Phillip Rhodes Hats A business devoted to all matters hat. Phillip Rhodes Hats is a unique business that still designs and manufactures on a small scale in Melbourne.

In response to the current pandemic, Phillip Rhodes Hats is manufacturing face masks as only a milliner trained in construction could make. Phillip Rhodes Hats has also commenced teaching via Zoom to an international coterie of students. Students have commented on the benefits of being instructed by a workroom trained milliner whose emphasis is on the individual and not simply parroting set curriculum. By appointment only.

When all the to&fro is done, Christmas is a reflective time; personal in extremis. All the shiny things cast light around the room and give pause for thought of times and people past. I like the time capsule of these few quiet days most of all. Happy Christmas.
