Max & Ellie
Max & Ellie hats, fascinators and hatinators come from a Hull-based millinery studio that treats colour as the whole point. Most of the designs on this rail can be recoloured to order, so a shade match for your outfit is rarely out of reach. Sinamay and feather detail cover the summer end of the rail, felt and warmer textures take over for autumn race meetings and winter weddings.
We keep a deep Max & Ellie edit because it solves a real problem: matching a hat to a dress that doesn't exist off the peg in the exact shade you need. Between the standard colourways and the made-to-order option, most customers leave with the closest match we've ever managed for them.
Fascinators and hatinators dominate the rail, mounted on double-wire headbands for a full day's comfort, with disc shapes and Ascot-style pieces further up the formality scale. Feathers, sinamay loops and hand-folded bows do most of the decorative work, and a handful of matching bags round out the edit for customers who want the full set in one colour.
Max & Ellie is designed in Hull and stocked by boutiques well beyond it, so this isn't an exclusive we're claiming, just a range we rate highly enough to carry in real depth. The house works mainly in sinamay for spring and summer occasions, moving into felt for the colder end of the calendar.
A hatinator sits in the middle ground: it has real presence, without asking you to commit to a full wide brim for the whole day. That in-between quality is exactly why it's become the default pick for most of our wedding and race-day customers. Bring your outfit to a styling appointment and we'll match shade and shape properly, rather than you guessing from a product photo.
