Suzanne Couture Millinery

About the Business:

As one of the few custom milliners in New York, Suzanne Newman has carried on the couture tradition in her Upper East Side store. Her hats have a wide appeal, and the fashion-savvy customers of Suzanne Couture Millinery range from downtown fashionistas to sophisticated, uptown ladies-who-lunch. Newman prides herself on a style that is wearable, classic and chic, as opposed to some of the more bizarre creations that have infiltrated the business. Customers report that her hats are very flattering and can be worn on more than one occasion. Newman and her four designers create each custom piece by hand at the Sixty-First Street shop.
