Crafted By Hand

By implementing sustainable practices, Jennifer’s studios and designs are environmentally friendly. She prefers natural materials over synthetics to construct her products. Hand and machine sewing are used instead of glue when ever possible.

Vintage Inspired Designs

Jennifer’s sense of design began during childhood days spent in her mother’s vintage clothing store in St. Louis, MO. She continues to combine her passion for vintage fashion with her modern New York City style. Using her needle and thread as an artist uses pencil and paint, she applies her manual sewing techniques to her millinery sculptures with loving detail. She uses traditional hat materials in non-traditional methods and prefers to build trims instead of using pre- fabricated embellishments. All of Jennifer’s hats made of felt and straw are transformed by steam, individually, on antique wooden blocks, a process called blocking.

Her exclusive hat block collection conveys incomparable vintage appeal.  She teaches her team couture hand sewing techniques that have been passed down to her from generations of milliners, as well as her own meticulous details that set her designs apart. Jennifer incorporates her patented headband construction in her exclusive designs, creating the most comfortable headwear today.
