Launch of Mes Jolis Chapeaux
A new platform has recently been launched to provide online courses on hat making in French. ‘Mes Jolis Chapeaux’ was created by Nelly Bichet and Marie-Lou Louaintier, two milliners who have been working together since 2018 in their workshop in Saint-Nazaire in western France. The project aims to make the specific know-how of hat making accessible to all and in a manner that promotes ethical and sustainable practice. The platform offers several types of content – from basic-level tutorials, which are free and accessible to all, to complete and detailed video courses, which are professionally filmed and which allow you to create a piece from start to finish. For each video course offered, there is the option of buying and receiving the appropriate kit of materials shipped directly to your home. Also available to purchase are wooden blocks when they are needed to make a particular piece in the course. The launch of Mes Jolis Chapeaux means it has now become even more achievable (for Francophones at least) to make your own hat responsibly from your living room!
