About

I'm Kate Thomas, a milliner and founder of thomas.york millinery. I trained at Leeds College of Art and latterly at Morley College in London, gaining the HNC in Millinery Design. 

I create hats and headpieces in luxury materials and specialise in surface manipulation of fabrics and ribbon work, techniques gained during the final collection for my HNC at Morley College entitled "Human Connections".  Pieces from that collection are seen on the Home Page and below:

                 

My pieces are timeless and classic with a unique twist and often feature repeating motifs and layering techniques..

Catering for special occasions, as well as everyday chic, I create hats which turn heads and invite connection.  They are investment pieces designed to be worn many times.

Everything is hand made using traditional skills and sustainable practices.

Thanks for visiting
