Headwear Care Guidelines

Your hat has been thoughtfully handcrafted using traditional millinery techniques and premium materials. With the right care, it will remain a beautiful piece to wear and treasure for years to come.

Handling Your Hat

Always handle your hat by the brim rather than the crown where possible. This helps maintain its shape and protects the delicate structure of the design.

If your hat features feathers, silk flowers, or other delicate embellishments, handle these with extra care. Avoid pulling, crushing, or bending them, as they are handcrafted and can lose their shape if handled roughly.

Storing Your Hat

Store your hat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Ideally, keep your hat in a hat box to protect it from dust and accidental damage.

When storing, ensure feathers and silk flowers are not compressed. Leave enough space around decorative elements so they can retain their natural shape. If your hat has a wide brim, store it on a flat surface or upside down on its crown if appropriate for the style.

Travelling With Your Hat

Whenever possible, transport your hat in a hat box. If travelling without one, carefully support the crown and brim with soft tissue paper or clothing, ensuring that decorative trims, feathers, and flowers are protected from being crushed.

Protecting Your Hat

Avoid wearing your hat in heavy rain or exposing it to excessive moisture. If it becomes damp, allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use a hairdryer, heater, or direct sunlight to speed up the drying process.

Keep your hat away from perfumes, hairsprays, makeup, and other cosmetics, as these products may stain or damage delicate fabrics, feathers, and trims.

Cleaning

Remove dust gently using a soft brush or lint roller suitable for delicate fabrics.

Feathers and silk flowers should never be washed or soaked. If they become dusty, use a soft brush or a gentle stream of cool air to remove surface dust. Avoid rubbing or using cleaning products, as this may damage the materials or alter their colour and shape.

For stains or significant soiling, we recommend consulting a professional millinery specialist.

Maintaining Its Shape

Each hat is individually handcrafted and designed to hold its form. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of your hat, folding it, or storing it where decorative details may become crushed.

Should feathers or silk flowers become slightly misshapen during storage or travel, they can often be gently reshaped by hand. Handle them delicately and avoid forcing them back into position.

A Timeless Piece

Every hat is handcrafted with care, creativity, and attention to detail. By treating it gently and storing it thoughtfully, your piece will remain a treasured part of your wardrobe for years to come.

Thank you for choosing a handcrafted design. We hope your hat brings you confidence, elegance, and many memorable occasions.
