Goodbye Sydney

🕰️ FAREWELL SYDNEY 👋

After a lifetime in Sydney… I’m moving

Born and raised here, this city has shaped every part of me. It’s where I fell in love with vintage fashion, taught myself to sculpt hats by hand, had two retail shops and where The House of Hats came to life.

But life is shifting, and like the song says… “The rest is still unwritten.”

I’m packing up my little showroom and heading to Queensland to begin a brand new chapter. It’s emotional and a little overwhelming, but also full of hope, growth, possibility and big dreams...

To all the beautiful clients who stepped through my Sydney doors — thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ll be sharing the journey as it unfolds, and I hope you’ll keep walking with me.

Here’s to trusting the unknown, starting fresh, and letting the next chapter write itself 💫

See you on the other side
