FAQ:

Do I have to pay import fees or customs tax when I receive the order?

No. We ship orders to the US using a prepaid DDP service. Import duties and tariffs are prepaid by us, so there are no additional customs charges to pay on delivery. The price shown at checkout is the amount you pay for your order.

Why are your hats more affordable than luxury milliners?

We are a British millinery designer brand and hat makers established in 2016. Our hats are made using traditional techniques and quality materials and sold directly to customers without the overhead of a heritage brand name. That means you get a genuinely well-made occasion hat at a price that doesn't require a special occasion budget of its own. Our research indicates that our prices, even including delivery and customs duties, are lower than those of most luxury millinery brands offering hats of comparable size and quality.

Delivery from UK: when will my package arrive?

From our experience and as a safe estimate, UK to USA delivery takes approximately 2 weeks.
