Bespoke Millinery, From London to You

Maria Monica London commissions are made in London and worn everywhere. Clients in the United States, Europe and further afield begin exactly as clients in London do, on a call rather than in a chair.

How a commission begins from abroad

• The conversation. A video call with Monika. The occasion, the outfit and the way you wish to be seen.
• Colour. Matched against a cutting of the outfit fabric posted to the atelier and judged in daylight, or against photographs where a cutting is not possible.
• Measurement. A head measurement taken at home to written instructions. The base is blocked to it.
• The making. Drawn, blocked, trimmed and finished by hand in the London atelier.

Delivery

Every piece leaves the London atelier boxed, tracked and insured. Import duty and tax are set by your own country and collected by the courier on arrival. Current rates and times are on the delivery page.

If you are coming to London

Fittings can be arranged at a private studio in West or Central London by appointment, and a piece can be finished to your head while you are here.

Racing and weddings abroad

Pieces travel regularly for the Kentucky Derby, the Melbourne Cup and weddings overseas. For guidance written for American clients, read buying couture hats from the United States.
