Rachel’s Tips for Traveling with a Hat
Here are my suggestions for traveling this summer with a hat!
Get Ready for Summer with a Classic Panama
I’ve paired up with The Panama Hat Co. to commission these superior Panamas directly from traditional weavers in Equador.
Ascot Edition
Ascot is is fast approaching (17-21 June) and we have been working non-stop in the studio on some stunning bespoke commissions and ready to wear pieces. The bespoke process is always inspiring as it is so collaborative (learn more about Bespoke Millinery here).
Hat Hire
There are many great reasons to hire a hat - maybe you have a series of upcoming events and need a different look for each one, or you might want to enjoy the luxury and high quality of traditionally hand-made, one-of-a-kind millinery but on a lower budget.
Rachel’s Tips for Choosing a Hat
If you can’t come by the boutique, and you are looking for advice choosing a hat for Ascot, or maybe a wedding, or other event this summer, here are some useful tips to help.
Cheltenham Edition
This past month the studio has been busy with fittings as clients start to prepare for the upcoming social and wedding seasons. One of my favorite aspects of custom millinery is learning about all of the wonderful events and activities that lay ahead for my clients. One such event being the Cheltenham Festival - four days of world-class racing at Cheltenham Racecourse from March 11th to 14th, 2025
A Message from Rachel
2024 has been quite a year for me and my eponymous label - Rachel Skinner Millinery has released four collections, designed bespoke pieces for clients across the UK and United States, opened our virtual store at our newly launched website, and deliberated over every detail at our first flagship store in over a decade - determined to evoke the intimate, upbeat, modern luxury fun of my original location in London’s Primrose Hill.
The Goodwood Revival
The Goodwood Revival will be held this year between the 6th and 8th of September. The blend of road racing and fashion is what makes the Goodwood Revival so special. Here are some tops tips to dress to impress and ensure that you pull off a chic period style look, whether you’re going for the 40s, 50s or 60s era.
Salon Privé, Blenheim Palace
Where to wear your hat… Salon Privé once again presents the UK’s most stylish automotive event against the sensational backdrop of historic Blenheim Palace.
Mother of the Bride / Groom Hats
Take the stress out of trailing round shops trying on endless hats that might not fit or match your outfit. Instead, enjoy the experience of being guided by an experienced milliner, having a bespoke hat made to fit comfortably and look spectacular. Having a hat made is an exciting experience, not a daunting one.
