About

DESIGNER HATS & HEADPIECES

Filipa Cardoso is a London based milliner creating bespoke headwear. From Hair Accessories, Headbands, Wide-Brimmed Hats to Wedding Hats and Royal Ascot Hats, each piece is uniquely made by hand using traditional British millinery techniques.

All hats are handmade to order in London, they can be customised to a desired colour and some details can be adjusted to the customer's preferences. 

If you are in London and would like to try some of the hats, we offer a by home appointment service, direct to your home, office or hotel within the central London area. Contact us at info@filipacardoso.com to discuss it.

CHOOSING A HAT OR HEADPIECE

The success of a hat definitely lies with balancing the personality of the wearer with the type of occasion. Additionally, the hat has to be chosen in harmony with the outfit. Never think of the outfit and then the hat - think of it all together and you inside it at the centre of attention!!

ABOUT FILIPA

As an accomplished milliner, my work is grounded in a profound understanding of both the historical and contemporary dimensions of headwear design. My academic journey in art, fashion and millinery has allowed me to develop a nuanced appreciation for the cultural and artistic significance of millinery, which informs every piece I create.

I engage in the meticulous art of crafting bespoke headpieces that are as intellectually stimulating as they are aesthetically pleasing. My designs are characterised by a rigorous attention to detail, an adherence to traditional craftsmanship techniques, and an innovative approach that challenges conventional norms.

My collections reflect a synthesis of research and creativity, drawing inspiration from a wide range of cultural, historical, and artistic sources. Each piece is conceived not merely as an accessory but as an artefact that encapsulates a rich narrative and a deep-seated respect for the millinery tradition.
