Isabella Josie of Sussex Hats making hats

Designed and Made For You

Our fully bespoke hats and headpieces are designed from concept to completion around your event, outfit, personality, body shape, and face shape. Each piece is thoughtfully handcrafted by award-winning British milliner Isabella Josie in our Sussex studio, ensuring elegance, comfort, and individuality for every occasion.

Ideal for weddings, Mother of the Bride or Groom, Ladies’ Day at the races or any special occasion where a show-stopping statement is required. For an even more meaningful touch, clients can incorporate sentimental elements, such as fabric from a significant dress, family heirloom jewellery, or special keepsakes. We also create bridal headpieces and elegant veil alternatives for modern brides.

Personalised for Your Look

Elevate a ready-to-wear hat with thoughtful refinements, new trimmings, or elegant finishing touches. Perfect for clients seeking a tailored, luxury look with a quicker turnaround.

Expertly Fitted for Your Head

We specialise in achieving the perfect, comfortable fit for every head. With only 30% of people fitting a “standard” 57 cm size, poorly fitting hats can be uncomfortable or even blow off in the wind. Our expert hat and cap fitting services — including stretching, reshaping, and discreet internal padding — ensure comfort, confidence, and a flawless fit every time.

Repair & Revive Your Hat

Bring your cherished hats back to life with ribbon replacement, size adjustments, reshaping, or expert repairs. This sustainable service preserves treasured pieces while keeping them stylish and wearable. Ideal for Goodwood Revival attendees or hat lovers whose favourite piece has become part of their life story.
