Founded in 1947, John Boyd Hats is a luxury couture millinery studio and hat shop in Central London run by owner and creative director Sarah Marshall, a founding member of The British Hat Guild and formerly Mr Boyd's apprentice and manager. Mr Boyd made elegant and beautiful headwear for the cream of British society, including many members of the Royal family, and John Boyd hats still make hats for Royals, celebrities and the fashionable elite today.
