Australian born and with a desire to return home, Julie ended up in the equally fashion-conscious strip of South Yarra in Melbourne, with a thriving workshop studio retail space – her service and commitment to style is legendary.
Now, settled in the Barossa for almost 10 years, Julie is one of Australia’s longest established high fashion milliners.
Julie makes bespoke, beautiful hats, fascinators and headbands for visitors, locals and indeed customers worldwide.
