MARMALADE HATS - PART TWO

Late last year we were delighted to be involved in one of our most exciting projects to date. We were approached my milliner, Myra Lloyd, of Marmalade Hats, who has a real passion and talent for her art. After meeting with her, she very generously offered to create a bespoke hat for us. We were involved along the way as we met up with Myra to discuss designs, take measurements and play with different styles (check out more on that here). We pretty soon discovered that hats are something you can never have enough of, so one hat turned into several. Each. We're pretty excited to finally have the results in our hands. Here's what Myra and us came up with.

MARMALADE HATS - PART ONE

The four of us jumped at the chance to visit milliner, Myra Lloyd from Marmalade Hats when she invited us to her studio in Helensville to take a closer look at what she does best - make amazing hand-made hats! We were blown away by her passion and enthusiasm for this art and we spent the afternoon of our first visit trying on different types of hats. Over a cup of tea, we got to know each other better and Myra explained her philosophy that "no outfit is complete without a hat". Myra kindly offered to make us hats so we left her studio that day very excited about what was to come.

On our second visit, Myra showed us what she had designed, sketched and what she had already started working on. Needless to say, we were super excited about what was evolving. She measured our heads, got our input and personalised each design to us.

Apart from Myra's infectious passion which can't be portrayed in the photos below, this is some of what we saw on our first two visits to Marmalade Hats. Next week, we will post the results of this super fun project, so stay tuned to see what we each ended up with.
