Limited edition nautilus shell headbands, featuring pleated ribbon shells. These headbands are truly couture pieces, which I have made by hand, using a complex millinery technique, first established in the 1950s. Nowadays, only a handful of milliners, including myself, have the skills needed to practice this technique.
These beautiful nautilus shell headbands make the perfect, stylishly understated hair accessory for weddings and parties. Indeed, they are incredibly versatile, and would add just the right amount of glamour to any outfit.
How It’s Made
I have created the nautilus shell shapes of this headband by hand-pleating and hand-sewing Petersham ribbon. It is this technique which produces the classic, “nautilus” shell shape.
To find out more about the history of the Nautilus technique, and my personal journey of discovery, read my series of blogs on the topic.
Hat Box Included
I will send your nautilus shell headband in a white hat box. Firstly, I carefully pack this box with acid-free tissue paper, and then finish with a pink satin ribbon. Storing your headband in this tissue-filled box will keep it in tip-top condition for many years to come.
Other Options
This range comes in a limited number of standard colours. However, I could use the design as inspiration for a bespoke order – creating something unique, tailored to your specifications. For example, I could use a different colour to suit your outfit. If you would like to discuss a custom order, please do drop me a message, and I will get back to you.
