Two weeks today Ladies Day at Royal Ascot will be in full swing. Looking forward to seeing some of our hats and fasinators worn with the lovely outfits our clients have at the ready.

There’s still time with a few appointments left this weekend and early next week if you’ve left it late for that headpiece to complete your look.

Let’s hope the weather is better than today 🙄

Royal Ascot is fast upon us. We have some amazing headwear for rent starting with some discrete fascinators, lots of hatinators and some really amazing stunners still available.

By appointment only to our private studio in St Albans where you can try on the perfect hat with your outfit. We’ll trim the hat to coordinate to give you a bespoke look for the fraction of the price of a hat you’ll never wear again.

The beauty of hiring is that you can even wear the same outfit next year with a different hat and change your look completely! How’s that for sustainability!

We are very remiss about posting on socials… but we thought it a good time to remind people to think about Ascot and booking an appointment to reserve that perfect headwear to complete your outfit.
We have hats, hatinators and fascinators ready (or to be trimmed) to compliment your look. Of course, we’ve got everything for a wedding or other special occasion too!
If you have hired from us before, please send us your photos!
