Sophie’s love affair with texture and fabrics has snowballed since childhood, evolving into a full blown passion.

Her fervour for the tactile influenced a degree in Textile Design that covered woven textiles, followed by a London College of Fashion evening class in millinery and assistant milliner for nearly 4 years.

Over the last 3 years Sophie has successfully developed her millinery business and continues to constantly take commissions for bespoke hats and headpieces for all occasions.

Sophie has had collaborations with Katherine Hooker; as a design consultant for a major high street accessories supplier she travelled extensively working in factories in the Far East developing collections and is developing her brand with new collaborations this year.

Sophie's desire to create new and unique products has led her to diversify the range to include an extensive mix of complementary accessories, available to buy on-line and at select stockists.

Sophie's infectious enthusiasm coupled with a genuine talent has ensured she has developed a highly desired brand. This is combined with a passion to fulfil her need to create ‘something for everyone whilst maintaining the quirkiness, style and quality of the sophiei brand’.
