Bring May Flowers

Say goodbye to the cruelest month with a crown of fresh suede blooms.

It's been too long since we were young, sitting cross-legged in the grass, weaving dandelions into circlets and believing we were princesses. The milliner and designer Lara Vincent is one of those girls who will be a girl forever, and her beloved headpieces render magic and nostalgia in materials (suede, silver wire) that last.

Our current favourite is this wreath in soft grey-scale. It's pretty much perfect for dancing around Maypoles, or at least making you feel like that's something you might, one day, do.
