This is well-known by the group of young entrepreneurs from Biella who two years ago decided to relaunch Cappellificio Biellese. Originally founded in Valle Cerva (in the province of Biella) in 1935, which is known for its artisanal expertise in the art of making hats, an accessory full of charm and heritage.
If up until fifty years ago the hat was an important and, according to the rules of the bon-ton, necessary accessory in the daily wardrobe, today it is likewise important in creating a personal and meticulous look. The CB1935 collection presented at Pitti is inspired by the brand’s vintage codes, those found in the archives and jealously guarded: designs, models, revamped and updated patterns, with a new twist.
