Millinerium was born from Ginger Strand's dream of a "green" job that would combine her professional experience, her art degree, and a need to have fun in her job. Indulging in her lifelong love of hats, Ginger began sewing hats for herself in a spare bedroom using eco-friendly materials. Before she knew it, women around town were commenting on her hats and requesting one for themselves and their girlfriends - and Millinerium blossomed!

Millinerium produces hand-sewn soft hats as well as hand-blocked hats in felt, straw, and buckram using traditional millinery techinques.

We love working with clients on custom creations for weddings, special events, gifts, or just stylish everyday wear!  Contact us to start designing your dream hat or headpiece today.

About Ginger

Ginger grew up in Dallas, Texas and inherited creativity from both sides of the family. She has always loved fashion and costume as outward expressions of individual style and playfulness. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas with a general concentration in painting, sculpture, and ceramics. Both her sculpture, which consisted mostly of earth-art installations, and her ceramics, whose clay is a product of the earth, foreshadowed Ginger's eventual involvement in the environmental movement.

Upon learning that the fashion industry didn't offer many eco-friendly options, Ginger decided to forge her own path and provide an uncommon product: a line of "green" hats and accessories!

Millinerium is proud to be a member of the Dallas Millinery Society and the Millinery Artisans Guild.
