Award Winning London Based Milliner

Kat Barclay is an award-winning London based milliner who creates luxurious hand-crafted wearable sculptures using couture techniques. Her collection comprises ready-to-wear and bespoke pieces. In 2024 Kat won the Craftsmanship Award in the Feltmakers Design Awards and she is a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Feltmakers. Her passion for millinery started at a young age when she realised that everyone will always recognise you and remember you by the hat you wear.

With every piece she creates, Kat aims to empower the wearer to express themselves through her designs.

As Oscar Wilde famously said, “Give a man a mask, and he’ll tell you the truth.” Kat believes, “Give a wo/man a hat, and s/he can be whoever s/he wants to be.”
