A model for every occasion, a model for every mood.

Tradition and modernity.

Baseball cap, flat cap, fedora, zuccotto/beanie in cashmere, it doesn't matter, the hat is the essential accessory for those with style like John Fitzgerald Kennedy Junior.

Whether it's a walk with the dog at the park below or on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, whether you go to work by bicycle or tram, every occasion is always right to wear a hat.

An essential accessory in the wardrobe of the elegant man, he has found over the years new shapes and new impulses while remaining protagonist in our time.


Varsity

This is the story of two Norwegian brothers and their special mission: to create the perfect hat. In 2013 they launched the Varsity brand giving the classic baseball cap a new interpretation of contemporary luxury. Alex, with a background in the business and finance world and Sebastian in product design decides to join forces and give vent to their passion and their entrepreneurial dream. With these bases they begin to design and test the hat of the future in their laboratory in Oslo. In a few years Varsity becomes a brand for connoisseurs and conquers fans in every corner of the world. Made using only high quality fabrics such as plain colored Loro Piana wool and patterns and even the very precious vicuña and enriched by the adjustable strap inspired by luxury watches, the Varsity hats are characterized by an essential and elegant design, as in the best tradition and Scandinavian taste. If it's not the perfect hat, the boys have come very close!



BétonCiré

Created in September 2013 by Amélie Le Roux, Béton Ciré owes its fortune to the Miki model, inspired by the traditional Breton sailor hat which is reinterpreted with a touch of boldness and which soon becomes the iconic garment of the Parisian brand. Halfway between a cap and a hat, without a visor to avoid the gusts of wind, with ears uncovered to be attentive to the sound of the waves, Miki is the synthesis of love for the sea, for the city and for street art. A unisex and super cool accessory, made in France and offered in infinite variations of fabric and color, using only noble and authentic materials. Chapeau! Béton Ciré.
