Pillbox & Percher Hats

Exuding a quiet sophistication, pillbox and perchers honour mid-century elegance whilst feeling entirely contemporary. Handcrafted from summer straws and winter felts in Nerida Fraiman’s London studio, these refined styles are light, balanced and designed to sit elegantly to one side.

From classic pillboxes inspired by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to softly perched beret forms often worn by Catherine, Princess of Wales, these are comfortable, easy pieces for Royal Ascot, weddings and formal occasions.

Elegant pillbox and percher hats handcrafted in London

The pillbox hat achieved iconic status through Jacqueline Kennedy in the 1960s and remains a symbol of polished elegance. Defined by its clean, brimless form, the pillbox creates a composed silhouette, designed to sit perched on the head with quiet confidence.

This collection includes classic straight-sided pillbox hats, angled pillboxes with a more dramatic line, and blocked round and asymmetric beret shapes worn as perchers, designed to sit lightly to one side and flatter the face.

Crafted in sinamay, sisal and crin, and adorned with flowers, veiling and featherwork, these pillbox and percher hats are created for weddings, race days and formal occasions where elegance is expressed through proportion rather than scale. Additional colourways are available to order from our London millinery studio, with worldwide delivery.
