Announcement    Annabel Allen Millinery's Hat shop offers unique handmade hats, fascinators, cocktail hats, bridal hair accessories and hatinators, perfect for weddings, races and any occasion that requires an injection of style and individuality! I also have a selection of elegant vintage-inspired bridal headpieces and birdcage veils to add the finishing touch to your special day.

All items can be shipped internationally. I send the finished pieces out as soon as possible and always use Special Delivery Guaranteed to ensure that your item arrives quickly but most importantly safely.

My hats and headpieces are all designed and hand-crafted by me in my studio, based in the Cotswolds, UK. Most pieces you see in my store can be made to order in other colours and fabrics but I can also work with you to create an entirely unique piece just for you. Please get in touch and we can get to work on something wonderful!

I believe strongly in the importance of quality over quantity and use traditional millinery techniques in all my work; hand blocking all the bases, hand-tooling and painting silk flowers, hand-dying fabrics to get perfect colour matches and sewing rather than gluing the elements together to ensure that they stand the test of time... just like the good old days!

I also passionately believe that it is our responsibility to ensure that all of our materials are sourced from sustainable origins; that each person, animal and plant in the production chain are treated fairly and ethically. We use cruelty free animal products such as feathers, which are shed naturally or a by-product of ethical farming practices. Many of our hats are vegan and designs can always be customised to ensure this if required.

I hope you enjoy browsing and please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or requests, however obscure they may sound... I have made a variety of weird and wonderful creations to suit all occasions!

Annabel Allen Millinery- The Story So Far

Welcome to Annabel Allen Millinery’s Etsy store AnnabelAllenHats.

I hope your shopping experience is a positive one and welcome any comments on my store or products. The hours spent making my hats are only worthwhile if my customers are completely happy.

Every piece in my store is entirely handmade in my UK studio and the designs are all my own. I use traditional millinery techniques in all my work and hand-stitch rather than glue all the elements together to ensure my work not only looks beautiful but also stands the test of time.

Most of the designs in my store can be made in a variety of colours and I can hand dye the elements for a specific colour match if necessary. I can also incorporate your own fabrics into my designs or work with you to come up with a design completely unique to you.

Bridal Pieces:

Whether you're a vintage lover or prefer something with more of a modern twist; want a hair clip or cathedral veil I'm on hand to make the perfect accessory to complete your look. Quality is the key and I have a treasure trove of hand-woven vintage lace, luxurious silks, pearls and sparkles which offer a great starting point. It might be that you have spare fabric from your wedding dress or a family heirloom, like a brooch or lace from an ancestor's gown that you would like to incorporate to make our creation even more personal to you.

Please click on the "Request Custom Order" button or "Contact the Shop Owner" to enquire.

See item details for return and exchange eligibility.

Payment

All payments are managed by Etsy using a credit/debit card or you can also pay using paypal. If you have any problems with these methods please contact me.

All prices are stated in pound sterling and are inclusive of British VAT

A 50% deposit is requested for all custom orders once the design concept has been confirmed and the balance will be requested once the making has commenced*. For each of these payments a "Custom Order" link will be sent and payment is taken through the usual channels.

*Please see the "Additional Information" section below for further clarification.

Shipping

The dispatch time shown in each listing denotes the time it will take after payment is complete. Items that state 1-3 days are usually sent the next day but please let me know if your order is urgent just in case. Custom orders ordinarily take between 2-4 weeks but again if it is urgent please let me know and I will try to work within your timeframe.

Within UK:
All items sent within the UK are sent special delivery guaranteed with next day delivery and insurance to cover the full value of your purchase.

I will email you confirmation once I have sent your item along with the tracking number. Please note that a signature will be required upon delivery.

If your item does not arrive when it is supposed to, please contact me immediately

Overseas:
All items sent outside of the UK are Internationally tracked and should arrive within 5-7 days. All goods are insured and you can track your item up to delivery.

I will email you confirmation once I have sent your item along with the tracking number.

If your item does not arrive when it is supposed to, please contact me immediately

Please note that the buyer is responsible for any duties, customs charges and/or taxes levied at the point of entry into the destination country and if this causes delays with the postage I cannot be held responsible.

Packaging

Unfortunately hat boxes are not sturdy enough to withstand postage and I therefore package all my hats in proper postal boxes to ensure they arrive un harmed. Inside, the hats are tightly packed using acid free tissue paper.

If the goods are damaged upon arrival please ask the courier to mark the item as damaged, before signing for the item. For international customers, if you are not there when the item is delivered please take photos of the damaged packaging before opening and let me know immediately.

Additional policies and FAQs

Custom Orders:

Although I would love to think that my store has something for everyone I also know that sometimes you have your own ideas and nothing else will do! If this is the case I would be delighted to work with you to create exactly what you are after, even if you’re not quite sure what it is yet!

How it works:

Once we have discussed what you are after and we are both completely happy with the design concept I will create a custom order for a 50% deposit to be paid before work on the piece starts. I will then send photos of the piece in the early stages of making and if you are happy with it I will create a second custom listing for the remaining 50%. I will continue to email photos throughout the making process so to allow for full creative input and to ensure that there are no unexpected surprises when it arrives. It's important to me that you get exactly what you want.

Prices for custom designs start at £90 but the price of individual pieces will be confirmed once the design has been agreed.

Customising existing designs:

For customised ready-to wear pieces (i.e designs from the store made to your specification) there will be an additional fee depending on the item and changes required.

Many existing designs can be made in a stock colour for which there will be no additional fee, please contact me to confirm stock colours for specific designs.

If you require a design to be specifically matched to your outfit there will be a minimum fee of £20. I will also require a sample of the piece you wish to match it with if you would like an exact match. I am happy to work from photographs but cannot be held responsible for inconsistencies between the colour in the photo and the original item.

If you would prefer a different head-fitting to that which is listed with the item (i.e. a headband rather than a comb or hat elastic) then please contact me and I will change it free of charge. Please note however that not all hats work with all head fittings and I will advise accordingly.

For all enquiries please click on the "Request Custom Order" button or "Contact the Shop Owner". By making an enquiry you are under no obligation to make a purchase.
