About Millinery Hub
A new brand built on a legacy
2000
From a backyard business
Millinery Hub emerged from a business that was forged from a passion for millinery. Waltraud Reiner launched Torb & Reiner in 2000, partly to support her students’ need for supplies, and partly to make available a greater range of contemporary millinery materials within the Australian industry. At that stage, millinery, and the materials available reflected a different era in hats and manufacture as a whole. Torb & Reiner was at the cutting edge of millinery in Melbourne and indeed the world. Fusing a love for new and interesting materials with the skill and knowledge from a bygone era has remained a focus ever since. Lindsay Whitehead took the helm in 2016 and Millinery Hub was born as an extension, forging ahead into a new future.
