Brynels Hats and Accessories

A family run business which opened in 2007, this is a posh hat shop based on Islington Row.
I used to live in the flats above this shop and was always a bit curious about it but never dared to go in — some people can wear hats and sadly I’m not one of them.
However I was recently invited to a wedding and now that fascinators are ‘de rigour’ thought this was perhaps my chance to have a mooch. The fact they had a 20% off sign in the window was all the extra encouragement I needed.
I have to say they have some really lovely stuff — I was particularly taken with a black and white polka dot number but sadly — even with the discount this was way out of my price range.
Staff seemed nice and the stock seemed well made.
Intrigued I also had a quick look on their website when I got home — more lovely things awaited including some rather fab gents hats (trilby’s mostly) and a ‘made to order’ range.
