The birth of the hat
The legend surrounding the birth of this headwear goes back into the depths of time: like all of man's inventions across history, it was born of practical necessity.
Over the centuries, the hat has protected man from the cold, the rain and the sun becoming a multi-faceted ornament and an object which, apart from its function, also has an aesthetic role.
Always present in a multitude of shapes and colours in all the world's cultures, it seems to have its origins in the East, where Mediterranean people used to protect their head's with a cone made of blended hair. The practical and magical functions it had in Asia, Greece and Egypt have transformed over the centuries into fashion trends. Discover with us all the magic and creativity of this accessory in the various cultures of the world, from its invention through to today!
