More quotes by Albertus Swanepoel

To be able to expand my brand internationally has always been a dream of mine.

It’s a niche business, “a dying craft that one must make to be desirable and personable.”

I honor the great craft of millinery and make it relevant for today. My hats are personal, not precious; reminiscent, not retro.

Doing everything by hand is a certainly a message I like to convey, it also makes my hats more personable and special

“I like, sometimes, to start by using techniques or concepts that might not work and find a solution, “or mixing high and low, whether it’s handwork with machine, or expensive materials mixed with cheap.”
