Vintage Designs hats and headpieces are made from quality materials hand picked by the designer, Jo-Anne Rolfe. Her straws, felts and crinolines all vie for attention in an eclectic range of styles to suit all budgets. Jo has just created her new line of headpieces. From 1920's cloches to 1950's eggshells, these simple yet beautiful and stylish hats have marked the beginning of the latest Millinery Collection. Her gorgeous fabric hats and hand fashioned silk and velvet flowers, evoke memories of more romantic times.
Jo creates hats and headpieces in her studio, on her five acre lavender farm in the central Riverina District of NSW, Australia, taking inspiration from both the Australian Bushland and the lavender fields which surround her 1912 farmhouse. Jo's "one-off" Hats are sold with her own designer label and are not massed produced. These "prêt a porter" hats are blocked and stitched by hand most usually using her collection of antique wooden blocks. Jo's hats are often worn with everyday clothes. Her designer hats are smart and practical for day wear and regular use and are purchased by clients with good taste and a desire for individuality. All hats come with a complimentary hat box.
