Hi, I'm Carolyn.
So Pretty began with a light-globe moment back in 2002. I looked at my dowdy shower cap and figured I could make something better: good quality, practical, and lovely to have hanging around.
My story
My aim is a range where you see a colour or pattern and think, "yes, that's her (or me!)"
Being the maker means your shopping experience is personal, from the first order to the day it arrives. I deal with every customer directly, and I'm flexible enough to tweak things for special requests and ideas. Some designs in the range came from a combination of colours a customer asked for, so it's not all about what I like!
I live in Perth with my husband, our two daughters (growing up too fast) and two Birman cats. It's always a thrill to know my caps live in bathrooms in the US, UK, Europe, New Zealand and, of course, right here in Australia. Thank you to every customer who supports me.
I often call myself the mad woman at the sewing machine. I have a passion for fabrics, and I think it's getting worse.
Hand sewn, properly.
Every cap is meticulously sewn by me, using quality fabrics.
-
01
Waterproof
Lined with a soft, durable plastic, so they can get wet. And no nasty plastic smell.
-
02
Extra-wide braided elastic
Better than average elastic, so caps last longer and fit comfortably.
-
03
Quick-drying fabrics
Sheers, satins, taffetas and organzas that look gorgeous just hanging around.
-
04
Oversized as standard
Room for extra long hair. For seriously long hair, I can make an XL.
-
05
Junior sizes
Caps for girls (and a no-frills version for boys), which are hard to come by.
-
06
Made your way
Prefer a different fabric, trim or colour combination? In most cases I can make it.
Plenty of room, even for long hair. For seriously long hair, ask for an XL. Care: hang to dry after each use. A gentle hand wash is fine.
Have an idea? Just ask.
A different fabric, a no-frills version, an XL or a name embroidered on top. I'm always open to special requests.
