FAQs

How does the booking and design process work?

Clients begin with an appointment at Hazel’s Glasgow studio – or a Zoom consultation if visiting isn’t possible. During this meeting, Hazel reviews outfit details, colours and materials to start the design process.

A price estimate is then provided before Hazel sources materials and begins handmaking the piece using couture techniques. Clients receive regular updates and fittings as needed. Finished hats can be collected in person or carefully packed and shipped.

When should clients get in touch?

Early booking is strongly recommended, especially for spring and early summer. A lead time of 4–6 weeks is ideal, though rush orders may be possible depending on the availability of materials.

What are the benefits of choosing a milliner?

A bespoke hat offers superior fit, comfort and proportion compared to factory-made options. Hazel uses traditional hand-sewn techniques to create pieces that feel secure, suit the client’s face shape and harmonise perfectly with their outfit.
