Story

At Torb & Reiner, it's all about hats.

We supply the newest and most exciting millinery materials because we want to see what you will create!

We are always open to answer all questions hat-related. Call us in store any time or send us an email if you want to know more about materials, techniques, or our regular millinery classes.

Committed to supporting aspiring milliners. Our staff are members of the Australian Millinery Association.

We were a gold sponsor of the 2012 International Millinery Forum in Wagga Wagga.

We support mental health support, research and advocacy. We are founders of the Blue Hat Project, Hat Extravaganza, the Little Hat Project and the Hats for Happiness book series.

We are sponsors of Hat Day, a mental health charity event organised by Australian Rotary Health.
