“Its been a lot of hard work and late nights, but I am ecstatic with the finished result.”
Its all about customer experience – the fantastic surrounding of the showroom reflects the quality of the pieces inside the atelier. It’s a feast for the eyes. Laura Apsit Livens compliments her Mayfair setting by offering bespoke consultations on call.
For Laura, it really is all about the total image, with race season in full swing and royal ascot fast approaching there is no better location to acquire a stunning outfit finished off with an incredible hat.
She tells us how she is motivated by her incredible neighbours, “I can’t wait for Shop at Bluebird to open up next door at Duke Street Emporium, and across the road Selfridges shadows the same street, this is an fantastic location with the footfall of Oxford Street but the Luxury setting of setting of Mayfair.”

As a hat designer she believes that it is of utmost importance that we do not see couture millinery disappear. It is important for her to use modern designs with old couture techniques, each piece being hand blocked and individually hand stitched without the use of any machinery.
