Featherhead Designs

I recently visited the home of Elizabeth Tumilty, founder of Featherhead Designs, a company that specialises in unique feather hair accessories and unusual hats, where each creation is totally unique and handmade from beginning to end.  Featherhead Designs is a complete one-stop shop for all ladies' hair accessories.

Background

Marie has been making hats for HRH the Queen of England for years and has designed for the largest fashion houses in London, Paris (including the House of Dior) and many celebrities. She has taught at the London College of Fashion and the Royal College of Art and Design, London where Irish designer Philip Tracey was one of her students.
