Shipping delay

Thank you for visiting my website to explore my millinery work! I wanted to let you know I will be away from Saturday, 19 September and back in the studio on Tuesday, 30 September.

Why this time of year, you ask? For the very best reason—my fabulous sister is marrying my wonderful brother-in-law! I’ll be in Canberra helping create her wedding dress and headpieces, and celebrating with our nearest and dearest.

In the meantime, please pardon my absence. You’re most welcome to place an order to secure your piece—I’ll be posting everything once I’m back on Tuesday 30 September. Thank you so much for your understanding, and if you have any questions, just send me a message or email.

Best wishes,
Lauren
