ELLIE WHITE
Founder + Designer
My name is Ellie White and I'm the Founder & Designer here at MH.
My goal as a designer is to create fashion forward hand made headwear that will outlive each client by using the highest grade materials available. I want to build hats that have a story to tell of their own while being a perfect representation to who you are and highlight individuality - something to be cherished and passed down for generations.
In a world of fast fashion and a need for immediate gratification, I want to do my part in slowing it back down and bringing purpose and intention back into the industry while being 100% American made with these two hands.
When the words "custom" and "handmade" are used here at Mill & Habs, you can be assured that we live by the true definition. We don't just decorate beautiful hats, we build them.
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.”
