2025 Studio Opening Date and Shipping

In January, I will be taking a brief break to recharge and prepare for an exciting year ahead. During this time, I’ll be away from the studio and will return in early February.

While I’m away, you’re welcome to continue browsing my collections online, making purchases, or reaching out with inquiries about custom orders.

Please note, however, that any orders placed during this period will begin shipping on 6 February 2025.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. I’m looking forward to diving into new projects, creating more beautiful designs, and continuing to share my passion for millinery with you in 2025.

Wishing you all a wonderful start to the new year, filled with style, creativity, and joy.

Warm regards,

Lauren J Ritchie
