'The British Hat Guild'

The British Hat Guild is the national association of professional milliners, hatters and headwear designers, established in Spring 2019 as a way of exchanging ideas and promoting our unique heritage. We aim to provide guidance and support to future milliners, and to share our news with people who are as fascinated as we are by hats and hat-making. The Guild is chaired by renowned milliner Stephen Jones OBE, other members include Philip Treacy OBE, Rachel Trevor-Morgan, Jane Taylor and include hat institution Lock and Co amongst many other prestigious milliners from all fields.
