About SANDY F

As a former hairdresser, Sandra’s knowledge of face shape, colour theory and proportion translates into an unrivalled ability to select and style headwear for every client.
Inspired by decadence and duality, she loves to blend stylistic contradictions, mixing materials and shapes to create complex pieces of wearable art.
