Bespoke by Charmaine
Add a splash of glamour and invest in a tailored hat or fascinator to suit your outfit, style, colours and aesthetic.
Perfect to match your bridal gown, mothers and grandmothers of the bride or groom outfit and other wedding guests. Do you have a special event, going to Royal Ascot, Henley or Goodwood Revival or passionate for the vintage style?
Being truly handmade is important to me. It’s a slow process and takes many hours of labour and love.
The Process…
When booking a commission, I usually visit clients at their home for an initial consultation if within 20 miles, but this can be done via zoom for clients out of my area.
I will keep you posted and communicate throughout the design process as I know you will be excited to hear how it is going.
I create headpieces completely from scratch. They start as flat pieces of fabric that I steam and stretch into place over wooden blocks.
Everything is hand wired and hand stitched. I resource materials from millinery suppliers, but I also enjoy upcycling old hats into new pieces and sometimes use vintage fabrics, buttons and jewellery in my pieces to make them truly unique.
