KissCurl is: a) a lock of hair curled into a spiral and plastered on the forehead; b) a UK-based mad hatter that makes lovely handmade Gothic Lolita headgear. The art of millinery has decayed with the advent of baseball caps (rest in peace, dear Queen Mother)! It’s up to Goth Lolis to keep the look alive. And KissCurl steps up to the task with finely-made hats and hair accessories that draw upon Victorian, Belle Epoque, Art Deco, and 1940-50s glamour. The items above, which range from $30-80, would complement any head-to-toe black Lolita outfit (also known as kurololi).

KissCurl’s storefront is on Esty.com, a site that is akin to a global craft fair. Take a few minutes to search for “Gothic Lolita.” You’ll find 20+ pages of rings, hats, lace headbands, chokers… all of which are unique, handmade, and generally better priced than similar goods on eBay.
