DESIGN CONSULTATION
Made just for you
I am happy to help and advise customers, offering showroom and online consultations. I can discuss design suitability in addition to working with you on custom design ideas.
What can be customised?
How to choose the right hat?
How can I see the progress?
Once we have decided on the design and colours, I can send image updates as the hat progresses. This will allow you us make any changes and confirm choices before the hat is completed, ensuring you are completely happy with the design.
I work with many customers both in person and worldwide using this solution.
How long does it take?
Turnaround is generally 2 - 4 weeks, however, we ask that you leave up to 6 weeks for bespoke to allow for designing, discussing options, obtaining stock and creating.
What if I need a hat urgently?
I can often manage a rush order, however not necessarily for a completely new design. Depending on the time of year, there may be an additonal 'rush fee' to cover overtime and stock delivery costs.
Hats don't suit me, can you help?
Of course, you may not have had the opportunity to try different styles as mainstream shops are limited in their selections. Just like any other piece of clothing, there will be styles that work better for you than others. Face shape, height and hair are all very integral to which styles will work best. I have yet to find someone that doesn't suit any hat.
Can you match the colour of my outfit?
Yes, there is a small charge but I can dye various fabrics to match your outfit exactly.
