It's Our 18th Birthday....

The House Of Hats just celebrated it’s 18th Birthday,

Never in my wildest dreams would I believe that i would have a successful business that I created from dust, let alone the journey The House Of Hats has had in it's 18 years.
From fashion editorials, tv shows and celebrities wearing my creations and two shops and a Showroom later, it's been a ride.
Fast forward 18 years and in the most beautiful showroom of my dreams that I created I can truly say that i'm blessed.
I absolutely love what I do and they say if you love what you do , you never work a day in your life...
Thank you to everyone who has supported my dream along the way, you don't go unrecognised, to all my amazing clients past & present.
I'm so excited to what the future holds for The House Of Hats!!
Heres to the dreams that come reality and to the future that holds endless possibilities.✨

This collection is going to knock your socks off, I'm very proud of it and i hope you love it as much as I do.

Ever since I was a child i've always been fascinated with the Victorian era, the fashion , the Victorian houses ,the jewellery and everything else.
I always dreamed of owning an victorian bustle dress and hat of course hoping I could wear it and somehow  time travel back to that time, so i've conjured up some of that time in this collection along with my love of all things vampires , witches , New Orleans & all the old haunted Mansions.
 So here it is and you all get the honour of previewing it first. 

We have seven new designs in this collection.
Introducing , our ' LA BELLE ' Hat which screams the Victorian Bustle era with her striped sash bow and face veiling.

 Our ' GRACE ' hood hats made of the most luxurious velvet and detailed with vintage rare clasps .

Our ' SPELLBOUND ' Velvet turbans with Rhinestone Spider brooches  and our ' ROSES OF RED  silk flower headpieces.

Our ' ONCE BITTEN ' Collection is perfect to bring out the dark goddess in you just in time for Halloween.

I hope you all enjoy this collection as much as I did creating it.
