"It is impossible for a hatless woman to be chic" - Emily Post.

Needing a stylish sun hat? Textured, vintage straws will be coveted for the warmer weather, made up in the Vintage Designs Dior brim style or as a Titanic cartwheel or boater. Straw cloches are a very sweet alternative to the wider brim styles.

Our Winter Fashion hats are again elegantly understated with delicate tilt hats and the edgier midi toppers in favour in felt, fur and velvet. Our deep crown cloches are an elegant alternative to the smaller styles that will keep you deliciously warm against the winter chills.

Whatever your heart's desire, our eggshells, half hats, cocktail pieces, skull caps and pillboxes are only a few of the distinctive styles available from Vintage Designs.

Develop your own personal style and wear a one-off, hand fashioned headpiece to be proud of..... made exclusively for you by Vintage Designs.
