Hat Manufacturer in Florence Since 1952
Founded in the post-war period, Angiolo Frasconi has refined the art of crafting hats in Florence with a distinctive style that combines traditional craftsmanship and innovation. Specializing in women’s hats, the company maintains an unwavering commitment to quality. Every hat is proudly Made in Italy, created with legendary passion and dedication. From research to production and finishing, an Angiolo Frasconi hat is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, recognized and exported worldwide.
Angiolo Frasconi was established in Campi Bisenzio, one of the historic hubs for Florence’s renowned straw hat production, by Angiolo and his wife Carolina. As the business grew, it was passed down to their son Alessandro and his wife Alessandra, who continue to manage the company today alongside their children Francesca and Franco. The company’s success is rooted in this blend of family management and expertise, gained from decades of experience in the traditional art of straw working. Today, Angiolo Frasconi hats are distributed across major global markets, thanks to the brand’s reputation for exceptional quality, with each piece meticulously hand-finished. With hundreds of new designs every season, the collections are crafted to add charm and personality to those who wear them.
Committed to minimizing its ecological impact, Angiolo Frasconi prioritizes the use of natural fibers in its products. Remaining faithful to tradition, the company is deeply connected to the heritage of its region, emphasizing sustainable and environmentally friendly production practices. Alongside the use of natural materials, the company has powered its production facilities with renewable energy sources for many years.
Angiolo Frasconi is an active member of the Consorzio Cappello di Firenze, founded in 1986 to connect companies in the hat-making industry. The consortium supports Made in Italy products—particularly hats—representing a philosophy that proudly upholds the legacy of the ancient craft of straw weaving and hat making.
Angiolo Frasconi offers a wide range of hats for every season. The Autumn/Winter collection features hats designed specifically for colder weather, crafted from felt and wool fabrics, as well as luxurious yarns like cashmere and alpaca, shaped into a variety of styles. For spring and summer, the lightweight straw and fabric hats celebrate natural fibers with original designs that are youthful and flattering. In true Italian style, Frasconi hats are the perfect accessory to complete any look, regardless of the season.
