"Millinery" - The traditional millinery
shop was a shop of a thousand things derived from the Latin prefix "mill."
Another possible origin of the word milliner is from "Milaner" meaning
a person from Milan, Italy; or a person who imported goods from Milan.
The earliest documentation we have found of a millinery shop in the
American Colonies is the Margaret Hunter Shop in Colonial Williamsburg
which was established in 1767.
Today MM Beck

shop with a thousand things. We cater to specific consumer needs, offering

if you call, the one who will pack your order, look for the items you

What is Art-To-Wear?
Art-To-Wear
refers to a branch of fashion where art, clothing and creativity
are all brought together to make garments and/or accessories
that are not only wearable and functional, but more often than
not are spectacular one-of-a-kind pieces of art. My specialties
include Celtic imagry; knots, dogs, other animals, shamrocks,
thistles, etc. My bags are each made individually and are each
unique. Check out my velvet bags link above.
