A hat above the rest

Davina Lynch’s star is on the rise. Having designed hats for River Island and Cadbury, to name but a few, the Ballyjamesduff milliner’s work is now on sale in Brown Thomas. She spoke to Jenny McGovern about her latest collection...

When the Celt last spoke to Davina, she was on the cusp of greatness. Her designs had just been featured on TV3’s Xposé and she was busy creating exciting new products, while looking forward to her future in the design world.
Fast forward two years and the award winning milliner’s hard work has paid off. Her brand new collection of ‘LynchMob Hats’ has been launched and is currently on sale in Brown Thomas and, by all accounts, they’re flying out the door.
Davina has always been interested in fashion. From an early age, she knew it would become a big part of her future. “I remember when I was doing my Junior Cert I knew the path I wanted to follow. Fashion was for me, although I didn’t know at the time that I would end up in millinery.”
