5 out of 5 starsEllie made this beret for me in a beautiful dark green as a request. You don't see handwork of this caliber very often and in person you really feel like you have an heirloom in your hands. Can't wait to wear my New Yorker to New York this fall :) Thank you for this beautiful hat!!

5 out of 5 starsThank you, it is such a lovely hat! It is instantly one of my favorite accessories.
It sits securely on the head on its own, and even has a comb to secure it in extra windy weather.

Bio
Ellie Vallerini is a couture milliner based in the beautiful seaside town of Hastings where she makes elegant hats and headdresses perfect for weddings, races and events.
Ellie's designs show her love of colour, simplicity and style. Using a variety of materials and traditional millinery techniques she makes each hat by hand making them an object of beauty and craftsmanship, something Ellie believes adds to the magic of wearing a couture hat.
After gaining a BA Hons in Contemporary Crafts Ellie moved to London to pursue her hat making dream and was awarded a Distinction in Millinery at Kensington and Chelsea College and won the Fashion and Textiles prize for the V&A’s ‘Inspired by…..’ in 2011.
Ellie went onto hone her skills through internships with renowned milliners such as Edwina Ibottson before being offered a job as Designer/Maker for Royal Milliner John Boyd. Over the next six years she developed her millinery skills and enjoyed working closely with individual clients at the Knightsbridge atelier, designing the perfect hat to make each customer look and feel great.
In addition to designing and making her own range of couture hats Ellie regularly makes commissions for the stage and some of Londons Top attractions and has worked on many external projects including national and charity events, music videos, fashion shows and photoshoots.
“Ellie is an up and coming milliner with classic roots. If you want to support British design and be ahead of the curve – invest in Ellie Vallerini now, it’s a name you’ll be seeing a lot more of soon.”
