This is a site for hat lovers, by hat lovers, so Katie, the milliner behind Lifted was so pleased to be invited for an interview in their monthly podcast series.


Using time honored blocking methods, and an ever expanding knowledge of new and innovative techniques, Lifted headwear is shaped by hand in the studio. This ensures proper attention to the fit and finish of every piece.


Whether it be flowers or feather mounts, butterflies or bows, custom trimmings can be created from a wide variety of materials. This is a wonderful way to incorporate a matching dress fabric or color coordinate for a cohesive ensemble.


A hallmark of quality millinery is that the hat is assembled and trims are attached by stitching the components in place rather than gluing them. Why is this important? If a hat is constructed using adhesives they can break down over time, discolor, and make the hat difficult to re-trim in the future. Fine millinery is a long term investment and should be able to last and be transformed as your style changes.


Definitely the prettiest hat in St. Thomas!" (St. Thomas NYC Easter Service 2019)


"I cannot say how much i loved the crown you designed for me. I got a ton of compliments even one man saying I nailed it all from color combo, season appropriate and understanding of how to put things together." (Keeneland 2019)
