Shop. Style. Shine.
Hello, and welcome to ByAlpha Couture. I’m Janet, the founder, designer, and hands behind every handcrafted hat, fascinator, and headpiece you see here.
My creative journey began in London, where I first fell in love with design through Soft Furnishings. Sewing, shaping, and perfecting home décor pieces taught me the value of fine materials, detail, and craftsmanship.
In 2003, I relocated to the United States. Living in Maine at the time, I saw a need for high-end, stylish headwear, and in 2014, ByAlpha Couture was born. What began as curiosity — experimenting with pleating, shaping, and layering fabrics — soon became a calling.
Every ByAlpha Couture creation blends classic millinery techniques with modern flair and cultural inspiration. From pleated crinoline layers to hand-curved feathers, Swarovski crystal finishes, and bespoke African-inspired touches, each design is a statement of individuality and elegance.
No two pieces are ever exactly alike — your headpiece is made exclusively for you, with passion, precision, and care.
Where It All Happens
Today, I design and handcraft each ByAlpha Couture headpiece in my studio in Ellenwood, Georgia. Whether you choose from our Ready-to-Wear Collection or commission a Made-to-Order creation, you can be confident that every detail has been carefully considered to bring your vision to life.
ByAlpha Couture is more than fashion — it’s confidence, grace, and pride. My customers often tell me that slipping on one of my designs makes them stand taller, smile brighter, and walk more confidently into any room.
That’s the essence of my brand:
✨ Every woman deserves to look better, feel better, and stand proud in a crowd.
Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Whether you’re preparing for a wedding, gala, church event, derby, or any occasion where style speaks louder than words, I can’t wait to create something fascinating just for you.
With love,
❤️ Janet
Founder & Designer, ByAlpha Couture
