Making Headway: Celebrating Sustainability in Hats, The Hat Factory, Luton, 2025.  A beautiful weekend.

Pride is the word that comes to mind when I remember my days here.  To be invited to cover this important heritage event in Luton's hat-making quarter was a joy.  Yes the beautiful fabrics and fascinating constructions but more importantly the time with the highly skilled hat-makers and milliners and how proud they were with carrying on the work.  Traditional escapes many of our cities, here it was happily alive.
