Handcrafted in Italy

Our caps are is handmade in Biella, at a family-owned facility specialising in all manners of hat making. This particular "cappellificio" as they are referred to in Italy, has been at it for almost three generations and undergoes a meticulous process to construct each of their pieces. A traditionally important role in Italian villages, the art of the hatmaker is an ancient, noble, and rare profession, which is typically handed down generations to ensure practice. Over the years, this hatmaker has amassed a network that allows them to source the finest fabrics necessary for the execution of their craft - from the finest British tweeds from the Shetland Islands to materials from some of Piedmont's most famous woolen mills.

##We create the softest cashmere products by acquiring the rare, finest grade (Grade A) fibres from the underbellies of Mongolian goats. Due to the dramatic fluctuation in temperatures on the vast plains of Mongolia, Hircus goats have developed a beautiful, downy under-fleece. Cashmere acquired from Hircus goats is fine in texture, strong, light and soft. It provides excellent insulation and simply lasts longer without shedding or piling, due to the longer strands of hair Hircus goats develop on the hardy Mongolian plains.
