Bespoke
Whether you are seeking a fully bespoke design, a Made-to-Order piece, or wish to reimagine a treasured hat, each creation is handcrafted in our Dumfries & Galloway studio using heritage techniques and contemporary artistry.
Made to order
Ideal for those who would like a custom piece without entering the full bespoke design process. Choose from Emma’s existing designs or current collection and personalise your hat through colour, material, or small details.
Timeline: Typically 3–6 weeks from order to delivery.
Process:
-
Select a design from the collection
-
Discuss personalisation options with Emma
-
Each piece is handcrafted in the studio, ready to be worn


Heirloom Re-styling
A hat with history deserves a second life. Whether it has been passed down through family, discovered in a vintage shop, or tucked away in an attic, it can be thoughtfully reimagined and transformed.
Through careful restoration and creative redesign, treasured pieces become wearable again while preserving their story.
Timeline: Typically 4–6 weeks, depending on the design and restoration required.
Process:
-
Share your hat with Emma for assessment
-
Discuss design options and desired outcome
-
The piece is restored, redesigned, and handcrafted into a one-of-a-kind creation
Bespoke peices
For those seeking something entirely unique, the fully bespoke process allows you to create a hat from scratch, designed exclusively for you.
Timeline: Typically 6–12 weeks from consultation to delivery.
Process:
-
Design Consultation: In-person or virtual, discussing inspiration, style, and preferences
-
Sketches: Emma produces five original hand-drawn sketches for your consideration
-
Refinement: You select a design and can request revisions during the stage
-
Crafting: The hat is hand-crafted in the studio using your chosen materials, with optional hand-dyed colour matching
Every fully bespoke piece is a unique expression of artistry, Scottish heritage, and personal style.
