Barbisio

Hailing from the region of Italy that carries an undisputed reputation for producing the world’s finest millinary, the Barbisio brand are still producing felt hats from the original factory that was established in 1862. Though the use of equipment has evolved over time to adapt to new requirements, production continues by hand and is shaped to the original wooden forms. As felt is a living material, with the fibres reacting to heat and moisture, it takes a true artisan to uphold the Barbisio legacy for creating the lightest hat in the world.
