About Us
Joan, the visionary behind Joan and Joanie millinery and hair jewelry, is a classically trained Couture Milliner based in Dublin. Joan embarked on her fashion journey in the 1970s. Renowned for crafting exquisite headwear, Joan adorned brides, fashion icons, celebrities, and everyday individuals seeking that extraordinary touch for memorable occasions. Despite transitioning to a corporate career in the early 1990s, Joan's passion for creativity never waned. The allure of the design realm beckoned, prompting her return to Couture Millinery—a decision celebrated by those craving distinctive elegance for life's pivotal moments. Under the Joan brand, she caters to adults seeking special occasion headwear and hair jewelry, while Joanie caters to younger clientele, offering enchanting pieces for christenings, first holy communions, junior bridesmaids, and other cherished events.
Joan's designs are as unique as they are elegant and stylish, embodying both a sense of fun and seriousness. Each piece reflects the intricate layers of her personality, interwoven with the individuality of her clients, resulting in creations that are truly one-of-a-kind.
Let Joan guide you in creating a truly exceptional piece that will become an heirloom. She welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with you, incorporating cherished fabrics or items into your bridal, christening, or communion headwear. These unique pieces will hold special memories, destined to be treasured heirlooms passed down through generations.
At Joan and Joanie, each piece is meticulously handcrafted to the utmost standard of excellence, using responsibly sourced, top-quality materials. Joan is dedicated to sustainability, ensuring that everything from the creation of the headwear to the packaging is environmentally conscious. Our products are exclusive and unique, never replicated or sold in multiples. Bespoke creations are a cornerstone of our offerings, and Joan thrives on collaborating with customers to craft the ideal headwear for their special occasions or fashion statements.
