Lisa Tan says: “The millinery industry is a close-knit one, and it’s such a special experience to be able to come together with our peers to promote our craft in such a prestigious setting. What makes our pop-up particularly unique is the strong support from our team – our milliners, who are some of Britain’s finest hatmakers, will be onsite each day and available to answer questions and impart their years of millinery wisdom to all who visit. This makes our pop-up more than just another shopping destination, providing clients with a look into the passion and dedication we have for our industry.”
