Meet the Maker
ELLIE WHITE
Founder + Designer
Born in Georgia, reinvented in Nashville Tennessee and now calling Scottsdale Arizona home, Founder and millinery Designer Ellie White is creating unique masterpieces, one hat at a time.
Ellie’s passion for all things art began as a child and continued into her twenties when she founded her very own interior design company along with Co-Founding a custom jacket company. After getting a taste of the fashion industry, she realized that her true calling was in creating unique and one of a kind wearables. “There was no greater joy than bringing out each client’s highest sense of self confidence while helping them experience new and unchartered levels of self expression.” From stages to street wear, her designing style can be found.
After moving to Scottsdale Arizona, Ellie was on the search for her next artistic entrepreneurial endeavor in her new life in the desert. Her new terrain, in combination with her previous custom experience, led her to millinery and thus, Mill & Habs was born.
About Mill & Habs
Here at MH, we have a hat for every person’s unique style and every occasion consisting of “Ready to Wear” collections such as Deluxe, Cowboy, Classic & Straw — along with our most popular department, our Custom Made.
Detailed consultations and transparent communication between the designer and the client are pivotal aspects of the Custom Made process. This ensures that your hat is tailored to reflect your unique personality and life journey, while weaving a narrative of its own.
Our Hats are made out of the highest grade luxury materials such as 100% fur felts, genuine leather, new & vintage silks, suede, velvet, grass cloth, hemp, etc. all ethically sourced locally and from around the world.
Each hat is made by hand from start to finish and never mass produced. Quality over quantity is and forever will be our philosophy and we hope this shows through each hat’s unique personality!
“Each Mill & Habs hat is a work of art, a labor of love and all one of a kind while being perfectly imperfect.”
