If there’s one local creative we take our hats off to (literally) it’s Crystal Birch.
Excellently curated, with attention to detail and all the elements of drama to create the perfect hat for every occasion – Crystal Birch is definitely a leading lady when it comes to many fashion elements, not just headwear.
Why you should know Crystal Birch
Raised in Cape Town, this pioneer in the creative industry is the go-to person for any and all industry heads in South Africa.
As a fashion editor, I have firsthand experience in knowing that as soon as that vision pops into my head for what the next editorial needs to look like, Crystal will already have the perfect headpiece. Making creative visions come to life is something Birch and her teams always make possible.
Featured by major designers and creatives such as Rich Mnisi, Trevor Stuurman, Rush Tush, Sarah Langa, Birch and her team work nonstop to not only create beautiful head garments but also curate a huge cultural influence in many of the designs.
After only being available online and at the Cape Town factory shop, Birch’s hats are now also available at We Are EGG! in Johannesburg which recently opened its doors in Rosebank.
