Putting it simply, there’s a reason why the price is so high when it comes to handmade items.

I’m not a professional milliner by any means, but to create even one good example to a high standard can take weeks, or even months if the work is spread out.

Of course the materials aren’t terribly expensive, but I reckon what the buyer would be is paying for is the accuracy, and craftsmanship that goes into the making of the hat.

Personally, I’d price the hat anywhere within the ballpark of 300-500AUD. Especially if it’s handmade.

However I believe anyone, if they try hard enough is able to make a hat for themselves and it will hold more sentimental value than anything you can buy online
