Boo & Peek
Textiles
  Sophia Kathalina is a fine arts and fashion textile graduate who specialised in design and make up and who has worked under several fashion houses in Birmingham and Leicester before setting up her own label "Boo (Peek & Brim) Hats" in 1990.

This unique company continually strives to design and create unique handmade headwear and accessories in unusual mixes of fabric, cut and design. They have a feel of uncompromising comfort mixed with the "wow" factor. They offer to the wearer a statement of originality as well as a stylish accessory to a more classic look.

Sophia's knitted hats are created by a mixture of machine and hand knitting using fine yarns which are manipulated during knitting to create surface, texture and form. Harmonies of colour are the starting point for her inspirations, and therefore throughout Sophia's work there is a definite reference to fashion and accessories.
