The sustainable & budget-friendly option is
​to customise a highstreet or pre-loved headpiece.
Perhaps you already own a pre-loved hat or have found a simple fascinator on the high-street?
​
It can still be given that extra special flourish, to turn it into something ​unique & coordinated with your outfit.
Maybe there's a scrap of fabric left-over from having your outfit made or altered;
perhaps there is a packet of spare beads that came with your dress,
​or simply adding some extra feathers or flowers in your colours, are all trimming possibilities.
These little details can make all the difference & help unify your headwear. 
​A HATTER "re-trim" can be a more cost effective (& quicker!) option.

​​They generally start from around £50 - £80
 
depending on what you need & how long it will take.

​Hats & trims can be re-dyed to exactly match to your outfit / accessories.
I also offer a fitting service.

If you have a hat which is too big / small, it can be stretched or 'shrunk'
to ensure a bespoke fit, which is comfortable & secure. 

Hair combs can be added & bands can be changed to blend with your hair colour, if you prefer.
Free millinery advice & guidance available to anyone unsure how to wear a hat or headpiece.

Testimonials

 "Kristi was recommended by a friend for a hat for my daughter’s wedding.
The hat I had ordered was not the right colour and with less than a week to the wedding, I was panicking.
As soon as I met Kristi & she had a look at my outfit, I knew I was in safe hands & could relax and get on with the rest of the plans.
I wasn’t wrong......I picked up the hat the night before the wedding & was absolutely thrilled with the result. The hat is absolutely stunning & everything I could have wished for & more. 
I’d recommend Kristi in a heartbeat. She puts you at ease from the moment you meet her & weaves her magic to make you a wonderful creation. 
Thank you Kristi."

Krystal 
"I went to Kristi with a fairly boring, flat headband & after seeing my outfit, she understood straight away what the problem was - it needed some movement!
She magically transformed it into a stunning, statement piece, which looked fabulous & was light, with lots of feathers.
Everybody at my daughter's wedding complimented me!
I could not recommend Kristi more highly!"
 
Vicky 
"This was an amazing experience, after never wearing a head piece, I’m now converted.
I gave Kristi a challenge, she had one weeks’ notice & managed to turn an off-the-shelf fascinator to something truly special & unique, it was so much more than I expected & so pleased with the final result.
Thank you again so much it was a pleasure to work with you & certainly will again.
​Can’t recommend you enough."
