“What an idyllic day I spent with Sarah in her studio in Lewes. Surrounded and inspired by many examples of her fabulous work that she designs and makes for stage and screen.
Her expert tuition and access to everything needed helped me make the corsage for my Dior inspired ballgown.”

What could be a more perfect gift idea than a voucher for one of our one-to-one bespoke millinery courses?
Matt recently spent some time with us after being gifted a course for a special birthday and he created this fab pictorial diary as well as a great hat!
“Day 01 of my millinery course, making my first Trilby. Thanks to all my lovely friends and family who chipped in for this super thoughtful 40th birthday prezzie 🤠 absolutely lovin it!
Day 02 messing around with millinery. Trilby’s almost complete, just the band/ribbon to finish things off. Super satisfying to taylor the fit and build it from scratch 🤠 thanks to talented ladies at Lomax & Skinner for the brilliant workshop.
Day 03 of my mission in millinery! One hat complete and one very happy chappy! Such a cool process from start to finish. Might have to pop back to make a cheeky peaky blinders cap 🤠”
