Our Products

Where are you products made?

Our products are all made in our Cotswold Atelier in the heart of Gloucestershire by myself and my team.

Where do you source the materials?

My handwoven silks/ tweeds and leathers are all sourced in U.K. My silk velvets are from Shanghai and also in UK.

Why should I wear a hat?

A hat makes your outfit complete, dramatic and, most importantly, individual . Everyone from showgirls to dictators know that by wearing a hat they will be stand out from the crowd and generate attention. They make a girl look like a princess and a princess look like a queen. They are completely transformable. They are the most powerful accessory.

People say ‘ I don’t suit hats’

We say you have to try many shapes on. There is a hat for EVERYONE .

How do I commission a headpiece?

If you would like to commission a handcrafted bespoke hat or headpiece please email jess@jessicaansteydesigns.co.uk and I  I will guide you through the whole process. Typically the first step is to arrange a one to one consultation to discuss your requirements. It is advisable to bring your outfit to this appointment for colour matching and design considerations. You will have the opportunity to try on different styles of hats and headpieces to ensure the design complements your face shape and has a secure and comfortable head fitting.

Once your design has been agreed, a deposit will be taken and the handcrafted design is started. Ideally 4 – 6 weeks is needed to create a bespoke headpiece. Once your hat or headpiece is ready, Jess will be in contact to arrange an appointment for a fitting.

If you are unable to meet  in person, it may be possible to organise a commission through email. A range of ready-to-wear handcrafted hats and headpieces are available for purchase through our showroom In Gloucestershire or here online.
