My name is Mélanie.
I make wool felt headwear.
It could have ended there.
Instead, I mold, sew, and lace them entirely by hand. The seams remain visible. Sometimes, the flaws do too. I find they age better than perfection.
I like it when an object refuses to pick a side. A bit millinery. A bit streetwear. A bit collector’s item.
Each model is crafted as a one-off piece or in very limited runs.
I don’t make hats to go with an outfit.
I make pieces that end up dictating their own.
The rest is for the wearer to invent.
