About Us

Some encounters are meant to be. Like that afternoon by the sea, I sat on the sand with a half-finished straw hat, watching the waves gently kiss the shore. The sea breeze playfully danced with the brim, and in that moment, I realized: a hat should be more than an accessory — it should be a container of memories.

Thus, Handbrim was born. We create hats meant to cradle moments in time: a straw hat that remembers the warmth of the Mediterranean sun, a beret that witnessed drizzles in Paris, a wide-brimmed hat that walked with you through ancient temples in Kyoto.

Our designers are always on the road with sample hats. They test straw hats under the summer sun, let felt hats endure days of soft rain, and observe how each design meets life on bustling street corners. These precious experiences are gently woven into every stitch, becoming part of the hat’s very soul.

We choose materials that breathe — natural fibers that live and age gracefully. Over time, each hat absorbs traces of its wearer’s life: the brim slowly deepens in color from days spent under the sun, the felt grows softer with every wear. These changes are not flaws. They are imprints of time, telling a story that is uniquely yours.

Remember that hat that accompanied you on your journeys?
And every important moment you’ve lived.
This is what Handbrim wants to preserve for you.
