A mixture of silks and assorted vintage fabrics by Hapitat
Creating beautiful headpieces out of lost treasures
Hapitat began when I was going to Ascot with nothing to wear on my head, I decided to create something huge out of left over silk from my homemade wedding dress. My signature huge silk flower headpiece was born, and I've been creating beautiful handmade flowers from recycled and vintage fabric, giant and small and in-between ever since.
I use recycled fabric new and vintage, I scout charity chops, vintage fairs, garage sales and car boot sales for old clothing fabric feathers and lace that have been unloved and unused. I create beautiful timeless headpiece that can start and new story of their own.
I make bespoke headpieces for brides, brides bouquets, flower headbands and wristlets for flower girls, boutonnieres for the groom and the rest of the wedding party, hair flowers for a prom or ball, the races or a party or festival.
As well as selling Etsy, I also travel around the UK festival scene with my Hapitat recycled flower fascinator workshops where people can lean how to create wonderful headpieces and accessories.
Please get in touch if there is anything you would like me to create for you, I'd be happy to discuss your ideas through with you and hopefully make your dreams become reality.
