The history of the wide brim hat
The wide brim hat was born in the 19ᵉ century. You can recognize it by its large supple wide brim.
Catherine Deneuve and Françoise Dorléac’s wide brim hats in Les Demoiselles de Rochefort give these hats their aura and glamour.
Grace Kelly also wore many wide brim straw hats in pastel shades. They were embellished with muslin scarves tied around the cap.
Maison Fabienne Delvigne likes to suggest the “Hepbrun” wide brim hat. It brings all of the classics hat styles into one. It has the bottom of a boater while having the large brim of the wide brim hat. However, instead of being supple, it is stiffened with brass primers and wire.
This hat was inspired by Audrey Hepburn. The Belgian actress was a great inspiration to the designer Fabienne Delvigne. She admired her elegance and sobriety.
Nowadays, the wide brim hat is considered a chic fashion item. It can be worn in summer as well as in winter, and for various occasions.

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.
