my story

In Millinery, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but quality should never be a compromise. No matter what you're looking for, I guarantee you will look unique and feel special every time you wear your Hats Off Handmade Headwear custom hat or headpiece. 

My goal is to add colour, style and sparkle to your special occasion. I know that looking stylish can make your whole day better, and that's why I'm committed to designing and making unique handmade headwear, so you can focus on looking great!

About Me

I am Kathy Campbell, and I started my Millinery journey back in 2011, while living Singapore. I returned to Australia with my family at the end of 2019 (just in the nick of time, some might say), after then having lived  in New York for 3 years.

I have a real love of colour, and believe that everyone has that special colour which makes them shine. I take inspiration from the easy-going, yet stylish Australian culture and environment, right in the heart of Australia's fashion central, that is Melbourne!

I believe in making headwear that will last, and you will want to keep, for more than one occasion. I use a blend of traditional and contemporary millinery techniques, to ensure that every piece is well made, and can be appreciated from all angles.

From April 2021 to 2026, I successfully ran my retail headwear store in the heart of Camberwell Junction. I now happily make my headwear from my home studio, and welcome clients to visit.
