About Me
Your Personal Milliner in Winchester, Hampshire
Since 2011, I have transformed my lifelong passion for millinery into a full-time profession, and I truly adore my work. As a bespoke hat designer based in Winchester, Hampshire, I take great pride in assisting clients to coordinate their hats with accessories for weddings and special events.
Design Expertise and Personal Expression
With a first-class honours degree in Jewellery Design (2001), I bring a unique blend of design expertise and a flair for expressing individuality through accessories. My career includes selling jewellery in prestigious retailers such as Liberty and Harvey Nichols in London, managing contemporary art and design-led art galleries, and producing my own jewellery collections. Yet, my true passion lies in millinery—crafting unique, handmade hats and accessories that reflect your personality and complete your special occasion ensemble.
Private Consultations in My Winchester Studio
Ready to begin your bespoke hat journey? Book a consultation with Marvellous Millinery, where we’ll work together to bring your dream hat to life in my purpose-built, air-conditioned studio in Winchester, Hampshire.
Whether you’re a Mother of the Bride or attending an exclusive event, I’ll guide you through every step of the bespoke process. From the first design to the final fitting, together we’ll create a truly unique hat that captures the essence of who you are and complements your personality and style.
If you find yourself short of time before the event, please browse my capsule collection of Ready to Wear Wedding Hats in my Online Hat Shop. to find the perfect piece. I make each design by hand in my Winchester 'Rose Garden' Studio, and all of my Ready to Wear hats are one-offs - each one is unique, once its' gone - it's gone!
Inspired by Nature’s Beauty
My inspiration stems from observing flora in beautiful garden settings, and I take pleasure in highlighting accents of an individual’s self-expression through their choice of accessories. Nothing brings me greater joy than receiving photographs from happy customers enjoying their own Marvellous Millinery moment at special events.
Community Involvement and Personal Interests
I have lived happily in Winchester with my husband for many years and am an active member of the Winchester Musicals and Opera Society, performing at the Theatre Royal Winchester each spring and autumn.
