Suzannah London

“I am delighted to announce my collaboration with Suzannah London for spring 2021. Using the finest handwoven straws from Ecuador and organic fabrics I have designed hats to to complement her stunning debut sustainable collection. Each piece has been hand made by British craftsmen.”

“I have always admired Ruth’s work for Lock Hatters.

She has incredible skill , a discerning eye and a knowledge of fit, cut and finesse that can only ever come with years and years of high-end hands on experience. I love Ruth’s creative mind and her absolute love of fashion and clothing. We have a joint alliance for absolute perfection and our hearts leap and yearn for nostalgia. Ruth is a beautiful person and the beauty comes out in everything she does.

Our first collection together was a collaboration of our two minds, creating sustainable pieces that people would love, enjoy and treasure for ever. They provided so much joy in their conception. We only created pieces we absolutely loved, and used the kindest materials and absolutely responsible workmanship. We wanted to create pieces that dtood apart from the rest and were totally and utterly perfect in our eyes. Our brief to each other was to create magical, beautiful, nostalgic, wearable headwear that would look sensational with the dresses they were designed to complement and look just as in sitú at Ascot or the Polo as they would when paired down with casual chic around town or a gorgeous bikini set on a remote beach.”

“I have known Ruth for over 15 years. Ruth is a rare creative gem in the millinery world, a great collaborator, proactive, thoughtful with a keen eye and incredible vision. Her suggestions have always been outstanding and she is a joy to work with.

Ruth has always had the vision to want to move things forward - to be respectful of heritage and tradition but also to anticipate and embrace new ways of looking at classics. ”
