For Autumn-Winter 2023/2024, the two historic Maisons have signed a co-lab that will literally make you lose your mind. And the dear old man Federicomodel Panama par excellence, wears a new style, to meet the tastes of the woman looking for a winter hat trendy.
Borsalino x Saint Laurent, the co-lab of the moment
A simple touch, but capable of elevating the look. The Alessandria company, an excellence in the Made in Italy sector, knows this well. The first Panama straw hat Borsalino was created in 1835, and since then it has retained the characteristics that made it famous. Over time, it is enriched with details that transform it into the most versatile Fedora. Medium and rigid brim of 6 cm in soft wool felt, 3 cm grosgrain ribbon on the cloche. Finally, the calligraphic logo in cursive Borsalino 1907 affixed to the grosgrain. Which today is enriched with the signature of the French Maison, externally and on the internal satin.
