The Rachel Skinner Millinery boutique and workshop can be found in the historic county town of Lewes, East Sussex.  Visitors will find Rachel’s signature vibrant feminine ready-to-wear seasonal and resort collections, as well as the opportunity to reserve appointments for bespoke and couture commissions.

Honoring traditional millinery methods, Rachel’s award winning technique is rooted in attention to detail and artisanal craftsmanship.  Hats are hand blocked and sewn, optically dyed in custom colors, and finished with individually cut, colored, shaped and sewn silk petals and adornments.  Finishes are custom sourced for each commission, with details including hand manicured and dyed feathering and individually embroidered crystal and pearl beading.

In addition to ready-to-wear and bespoke pieces, Rachel Skinner Millinery undertakes regular commissions for theatre, film, exhibition and television.  

Ready-to-wear pieces may also be found at Elys of Wimbledon and the annual Chapeau! London Mayfair pop up. Rachel Skinner is a founding member, and was also founding director of the British Hat Guild.
