Bonjour, how can I help you?

CREATIONS

Unique Handmade Creations

Every piece I make is one of a kind, carefully handcrafted with love and attention. This means no two creations are ever exactly alike! You’ll receive an original piece, thoughtfully designed and made especially for you. And of course, I always make sure quality and detail are at the heart of everything I create.

 

Materials & Composition

The materials I use for Oh… Really? by Sandra Lacroix can vary, but they are always of high quality to ensure the durability of both fabrics and colors in the pieces you purchase. Whenever possible, I choose pure wool felts and colorfast fabrics, carefully sort the feathers I use, and opt for ultra-resistant sewing threads, among other details.

 

Handling Your Creation

Please never pick up hats or accessories by their decorations, as this can deform or damage them (no, no, a feather is not meant to lift a fascinator!). Always handle your creation by the base of the hat or the fastening to keep it safe and secure.

 

Storing Your Creation

– As with any luxury item, it’s important to keep your piece away from light, heat, and humidity to avoid fading, warping, or mold.

– Hats, headbands, and other structured accessories are best stored in a box, away from heat sources (like radiators or stoves) and humidity (please don’t keep your hat next to the shower!). For extra protection, I recommend placing uncolored, acid-free tissue paper inside the box to keep your piece stable.

– And finally: never press down on your creation! Its shape is designed to last… as long as it’s not crushed.

 

Caring for Your Creation

– Do not wash your creations: water is not their friend!

– To care for a felt hat, use a soft brush and gently brush in a counter-clockwise motion. For straw or fabric pieces, if stained, you can carefully wipe with a clean, slightly damp cloth.

– If your hat gets caught in the rain (oh dear!), gently place acid-free tissue paper or a clean dry cloth inside (without prints, to avoid staining), without deforming the hat, and let it air dry away from direct heat. Once dry, brush it as described above.

– Never pull on feathers or other decorations, as this may damage or distort them.

– If your creation starts looking a little flat, feel free to contact me at hello@ohreallystuff.com: I might just be able to help bring it back to life!

 

Wearing Your Creation in the Rain

If it’s raining but you absolutely must wear your creation, I highly recommend doing as the Hollywood stars do: step out with your very own umbrella-bearer, whose sacred mission will be to keep your beautiful hat dry!

 

Making Your Creation Stay in Place

Most creations are easy to secure: headband, clip, comb, barrette… And if you order a hat, I’ll include a little tutorial in your package explaining how to fasten it using an elastic band and hairpins.
