Tea Party Hats

Tea party hats are lighter than a race day hat and easier to wear across an afternoon. Picture hats with a soft brim, boaters, pillboxes and fascinators, made by hand in London by milliner Monika Perlińska.

What suits a tea party

A brim you can see under and talk across a table beneath. Straw for spring and summer, felt or velvet for winter. A fascinator or a headband works where a full hat would be too much. It sits securely on a comb with an elastic matched to your own hair colour.

For a Mad Hatter or a garden party

Themed afternoons call for something sculptural. Crinoline bows, hand modelled silk, feather work and veiling are all made in the studio, so a piece can be as quiet or as theatrical as the invitation asks.
