In early 2010, Sophie King had a problem. Floating in her mind was the image of the perfect hair accessory: delicate feathers, hand painted to form a single butterfly. Why was this a problem? Because such a thing just didn't exist! Well, they say that if you want a job done well you should do it yourself, and that's exactly what Sophie did. As a recent Photographic Art graduate she had the artistic eye, and she soon learned the skills she'd need to make her perfect hair accessory.

The result of that first spontaneous project was Crown and Glory, which in the time since since the first collection of assorted, hand painted butterfly pieces hit the internet has expanded into a shop that houses several different collections, each retaining that original joy of expression. From larger pieces like floral garlands and velvet and suede turbans, down to far smaller pieces such as hand-drawn acrylic bobby pin sets, each collection has running through it the thread of whimsicality and frivolity that has made Crown and Glory so special.

Your Crown and Glory accessory should make you feel pampered and unique the moment you put it on - indeed, every piece is made by hand so yours really will be one of a kind. All our hair accessories are made with the same care and excitement as that first hand-painted feather butterfly, and will be posted to you lovingly gift-wrapped. No detail is too small to be made special, at Crown and Glory.
