Welcome to the fascinating world of hats!

Since 2017, I have been creating my hat designs for ladies and gentlemen in the heart of the Salzkammergut region, following traditional craftsmanship but with a fresh and modern design. Every creation is individually designed and handmade.

In my collection, you will find handmade hats for men and women, casual caps, modernly interpreted headbands, hairbands, and floral wreaths suitable for traditional costumes and weddings. As a certified style and image consultant, I provide you with expert advice.

In the ServusTV LogoServusTV broadcast “Around the Traunsee” (in German) you can find out more about me and my work as a milliner.

I’m looking forward to welcoming you in my studio in the beautiful Salzkammergut!

your milliner,
