Welcome to Milliners 4 Recovery.
The recent devastating floods on the mid-north coast of NSW, have seen many people lose their homes, lose their livelihoods and sadly for some, their lives. Whilst it's hard to comprehend what they are going through, I felt like I needed to do something to help - no matter how big or small that something was.
**I am proud to say that over 50 Australian milliners have taken up my cause to raise money for the victims of the May 2025 NSW Flood Disaster under the Milliners 4 Recovery banner (which you may remember from previous fund raising efforts for flooding and bushfire events).
Each milliner has contributed an amazing hat or headpiece to be auctioned to raise funds for this cause. All funds raised will be donated to the permanent residents of the small town of Croki, NSW which consists of just 28 homes. Homes here have been destroyed by flood water, businesses washed away, and for some, this is the second time in just four years.
This is your chance to secure an amazing hat or headpiece by Australia's leading milliners, whilst helping those devastated by the recent floods.
Thankyou!
Bec Bayss - BB Millinery
