SOLD Hera

Hera is a  turquoise sinamay oval saucer shaped hat, trimmed with curled peacock swords with purple stems.  Two bold colours which combine just beautifully together

Perfect when you want something to stand out. Perhaps pair it with a simple block colour dress for maximum impact.

Hera is the first hat I haven’t named after a physical location, though the Liberty store in London has got a lot to do with it! It’s one of the places I love to visit in London for the architecture, the aesthetic, and of course the fabric department. My favourite fabric design is the Liberty Peacock print,  Hera.   In Greek mythology Hera is the queen of the gods, and frequently depicted with a peacock.   Hence the name was easy!

The hat is made from a turquoise sinamay blocked in three layers over a base. A wire is added around the edge, to stablise and strengthen the base.   The peacock swords are individually curled, then grouped into small clusters before sewing onto the base
