In the past I have made a wide range of products, which you will see in various places throughout the site for the time-being and also in the Flickr link, but have chosen to specialize in the things I love most. I do consider custom orders for other items on an individual basis, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Beautifully practical, one of a kind bags, purses and handbags

I create my bags with form and function in mind. I love beautiful fabrics and shiny hardware, but those things mean nothing without consideration of the features that would be useful. I incorporate a key clip and multiple pockets into every bag and I also strive to make the interiors of my bags at least as beautiful as the exteriors. It makes me happy to open them! I hope those who purchase my bags will be as proud to carry them as I am to make them. Every custom made bag is designed with the client in mind, with practical details, quality workmanship and to integrate the unique style and personality of each person.

Custom unique handmade one of a kind hats As a lover and wearer of hats, I was delighted to find Nicole Mallalieu of Melbourne, Australia, who designed the first hats I made. I am starting to branch out into my own designs, so will soon have engineer’s caps, newsboy caps, berets and cloche style hats to add to the fabulously practical, stylish and classic bucket and fedora styles currently on offer.

Not to be confused with cheap, mass-produced hats, an individually handmade hat is a luxurious treat that reflects your personal style. Both the classic hat and the fedora with the modern twist can be made in three sizes and with a variety of brim width options and orientations you can choose your look. All hats are fully finished and most are beautifully lined and interfaced for structure and stability. Berets are by nature less structured.
