How do we wrap our hats ?

• First, we carefully wrap the hat in silk paper.
• Then we place it in a hatbox designed by Fabienne Delvigne. These are specially designed for the Maison.
• Next, we place a certificate of authenticity next to the hat.
• Finally, we delicately perfume it with Guerlain’s Eau de Cashemire. This step reminds us of a beautiful collaboration between the two Maisons.

The history of the wide brim hat

The wide brim hat was originally a kind of bonnet trimmed with feathers, which the Ladies wore on horseback.

In the 19ᵉ century, the wide brim hat then became a broad-brimmed hat for women.

Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac’s wide brim hat’s in Les Demoiselles de Rochefort thus gave capelin hats their aura and glamour.

Grace Kelly also wore a lot of straw wide brim hat in pastel shades. They were embellished with a muslin scarf tied around her skullcap.

The “Hepbrun” wide brim hat is one of the classics. It has the bottom of the flat cap and the wide brim of the cape. But instead of being flexible, it is stiffened with brass primers and wire.

Moreover, the Belgian actress Audrey Hepbrun, who lived her youth in Brussels, inspired the designer Fabienne Delvigne. She admired her sober elegance…

The wide brim hat is nowadays considered a chic fashion item. It can be worn in summer as well as in winter, and for various occasions: weddings, parties…
