Established in 1954 by Donatello Santelli, our company
began its activity producing straw hats cloches and braids. Production was
assigned to so-called "braiders" who, with precise manual work, created braids
that were subsequently sewn to create the final product: a hat.
Over time, processing techniques have progressively evolved and this has led
to the disappearance of the braiders but also to a broader, more varied
production. Today in fact, the company is specialised both in summer and
winter clothing accessories; our collection includes the classic, undying
Florence straw hats along with cotton
caps and scarves as well as felt
hats and knitted caps, scarves and gloves. The care with which we select the
materials and trimmings used and our manufacturing ensure clothing accesories
that are always new and in-line with the times.
Today, the continuity of the company is entrusted to Giovanni, Francesca and Chiara Santelli.
