I started Hats For You in 1994 as Ladies Hat Hire. I then began trimming hats for clients and decided I wanted to learn how to make them. I took millinery classes with Rose Cory, MBE in London. Rose used to make the beautiful hats worn by the late Queen Mother amongst many others. I learned so many wonderful skills from Rose and still use them today. In 2020 when we were in lockdown with the Covid 19 pandemic, I joined a Millinery Group on Facebook run by renowned milliner Jenny Roberts who is in Harrogate. I 'met' like minded people and learned many more wonderful skills from Jenny by doing her on line courses and her invaluable Techniques of the Week. I am still doing my hat hire and have a collection in excess of 400 hats which are regularly updated and available to hire for any occasion. In addition I hand-make fascinators and hats to order and have had my designs worn at prestigious events. Each one is unique and can be designed by you and me to match perfectly with your chosen outfit for a wedding, a garden party or Royal Ascot. My designs are on the website on the handmade hats and headpieces pages for inspiration and all can be adapted to suit your requirements.
All the samples shown are available to hire - I can also refurbish your own hats.
I have many more hats than those shown here so please get in touch! I look forward to meeting you.
