Le Chapeau is an artisan hat and fashion-accessory company based in Forlì, Italy. Founded in 2000 by Patrizia Valmori, the brand creates hats of many kinds and accessories for clothing, serving shops, boutiques and haute couture labels. Its work brings together carefully selected materials, artistic inspiration and skilled, entirely manual Italian craftsmanship. The company’s ability to adapt traditional production to contemporary tastes has helped its designs gain recognition in Italy and abroad, including interest from major fashion houses and coverage in fashion magazines.

Le Chapeau presents seasonal collections, including autumn-winter and spring-summer designs, alongside an archive of earlier collections and popular models. Its work also extends into artistic hatmaking: in 2019, the company’s creations were featured in a solo exhibition, “What Goes Through Our Heads,” at Palazzo Monte di Pietà in Forlì. Through its collections, creative projects and collaborations, Le Chapeau offers a distinctive blend of fashion and artisanal expression, rooted in its Forlì heritage and a lasting commitment to quality.
