Borsalino is the oldest Italian manufacturer specializing in the production of luxury hats: a pioneer of Made in Italy, it is known worldwide for extraordinary quality, unmistakable style and timeless elegance. The Borsalino hats have been manufactured since 1857 in Alessandria, through a production process that combines an industrial perspective and artisan spirit: for the felt models, more than 50 manual steps are required, and 7 weeks of processing; for the creation of straw models, manually woven in Ecuador, some single hat can take up to 6 months. Nowadays Borsalino presents two collections each year, spring-summer and autumn-winter, including styles for men and women. Borsalino hats are available in the 9 flagships boutiques and in approximately 550 selected stores worldwide, as well as on www.borsalino.com. Since 2018, Borsalino is owned by Haeres Equita, a private equity company of Italian and international investors, with the objective to develop the brand internationally and strengthen its leading role in the world of artisanal luxury.
