Why Rachel Trevor-Morgan

Rachel Trevor Morgan is a London-based milliner, specialising in bespoke hats and headpieces, hand-crafted in her St James’s atelier.

Her hats are a mainstay at the Kentucky Derby, Royal Ascot, weddings, garden parties, and other moments of cultural elegance.

Crafted in St James’s

Each piece is handmade by our team in the St James’s studio using time-honoured techniques, from hand-blocking to intricate finishing. Particular attention is given to how a hat complements both the wearer and the occasion. This thoughtful, personal approach has earned the atelier a loyal international clientele and a reputation as one of the most respected names in British millinery.

Our Philosophy

Our aim is simple: offering an exceptional level of personal service to ensure that every client leaves feeling impeccably dressed, confident, and ready for the occasion ahead. Every hat and headpiece is designed to combine elegance, comfort, and individuality in perfect harmony. 

The Bespoke Experience

The Consultation

Clients are welcomed by appointment, allowing for one-to-one attention and thoughtful consultation. While visitors are welcome to drop in, bespoke commissions are best arranged through a scheduled appointment to ensure dedicated time and a fully personalised experience.

Typically, the first bespoke consultation lasts around an hour, during which clients are encouraged to try on many different shapes and styles that will suit the occasion and outfit. It is recommended to bring the outfit or a swatch for colour-matching purposes to the appointment.

Each design can be dyed or adapted to complement the outfit and occasion precisely, creating a truly bespoke piece. 

Re-trimming Service

The studio also offers a re-trimming service for their clients. This allows clients to return a hat at a later date to have trims adjusted, recoloured, or reimagined entirely.

Internationally Recognised

Rachel Trevor Morgan’s work has been featured in leading international fashion press and worn by UK and European royalty over the years. Rachel and her team have created a millinery business celebrating that craftsmanship while offering a considered, highly personal service which has attracted a wide and discerning client list. In 2014, Rachel Trevor-Morgan was granted a Royal Warrant appointment as Milliner to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, recognising the exceptional standards of craftsmanship upheld by her studio. Her work for the late Queen forms part of a wider legacy of British design and ceremonial dressing.
