Makoto Kushida

As a Japanese milliner based in London, I am passionate about creating traditional and distinctive hat styles that exude simplicity, sophistication and individuality. My studio, located on Johnsons Artist Island, is a haven for creativity and inspiration.

I specialize in crafting hats that are both stylish and timeless. Using rare, vintage, and self-crafted hat blocks, I ensure that each hat I create is of exceptional quality and workmanship. With a focus on individual shapes and designs, my hats complement and enhance personal style.

In addition to my hats, I also make handcrafted baseball caps. Whether you're a sports enthusiast or simply looking for a comfortable and stylish cap to wear out and about, my caps are the perfect choice. With the same dedication to quality and craftsmanship as my hats, you can be sure that your baseball cap will be made to the highest standards.

At my studio, I approach every project with the spirit of omotenashi, placing customer satisfaction at the forefront of everything I do. If you're looking for a hat or baseball cap that embodies distinctive style and quality, please visit my online hat shop or my studio on Johnsons Artist Island during open studio events or by appointment. I can't wait to create a beautiful and timeless hat or cap just for you.
