Millinery, the correct name for fine ladies' hats, is hand labor-intensive.
It can take many hours to make a hat. And, in the case of hand woven straws as long as 6 months just to hand weave the bodies used to start the hatmaking process.
Eggcup Designs custom makes every hat by hand from quality imported materials. We hand block, hand line and hand trim our creations. So that each is a masterpiece of feminine finery. Since our materials are imported we occasionally experience unexpected shortages of some items.
Old fashion millinery is time consuming. However, this handwork makes a long lasting valued accessory. Everyone's grandmother wore her hat for years.
