The Sofia mantilla veil brings timeless Spanish elegance to modern brides. Handcrafted in our Bath studio from silk-style tulle with French eyelash lace, its graceful oval drape creates old-world charm. A treasured piece for your wedding day and beyond.
Made in our Bath workshop, a stone's throw from the Abbey. Each piece is crafted individually—never mass-produced or imported.
We source materials from specialist mills and suppliers in England, Italy and the USA, selected for quality and longevity.
Every order arrives beautifully wrapped and ready to gift. No additional packaging needed—just hand it over. Presented in our signature keepsake box with grosgrain ribbon.
Founded by Sarah, Britten is an independent atelier seen in The Crown on Netflix, featured in Vogue and Style Me Pretty.
"The Sofia was inspired by the tradition of Spanish mantillas — the delicate lace, the oval drape, the sense of ceremony. We've reimagined it in silk-style tulle and French eyelash lace, handmade here in our Bath studio." — Sarah, Founder

Proper storage preserves your veil's beauty for years to come. Our veil bag and hanging clip provides the ideal storage solution, keeping your mantilla safely hung and protected from dust and creasing.
Mantilla veils are single-tier veils with no gathering, creating a smooth oval drape over the head and shoulders. They sit at the crown or just back from the hairline with a hand-sewn comb, and the lace edge frames the face beautifully. This traditional Spanish style offers timeless elegance distinct from gathered cathedral or chapel veils.
