Good quality hat, fits well. Delivery took slightly longer than initially quoted but they kept me informed. Would have appreciated more colour options for the ribbon, but overall satisfied with the purchase.

Absolutely stunning work! My cloche hat is perfect for autumn walks. The felt quality is superb and it holds its shape beautifully even in rain.

Decent hat for the price. The materials feel authentic and the construction is solid. Communication could be better – sometimes took a day or two to get responses. The final product meets expectations, though I expected slightly finer detail work given the price point. Still, it's a proper handmade item and I wear it regularly.

The consultation process was thorough and professional. They measured my head properly and explained different styles that would suit my face shape. My panama hat arrived exactly as discussed – lightweight, breathable, and perfectly fitted. Great for summer.

Nice hat, good materials. The price seemed a bit high initially, but after wearing it for a few months I understand the value. It's held up much better than cheaper alternatives I've bought before. Would be nice to have more customisation options for embellishments.

Solid craftsmanship and fair pricing. The flat cap I ordered uses quality tweed and the stitching is neat throughout. Delivery was on schedule. My only minor criticism is that the initial colour sample looked slightly different from the final product, though it's still a good match. Would order again.
