Designer Hat making Kit demonstration
Our day in London at John Lewis Peter Jones store was very encouraging despite the appalling weather, customers were interested in the hat kits and came along to chat and watch some proceedures of making a Fascinator hat. Hat kits were purchased for Christmas and secret Santa gifts. We had a fun day meeting lots of lovely people who were surprised that we were the Millinery Designers behind the Hat kits.
