French bicorn hat - Napoleon

The striking icon of an era: Her handcrafted bicorn hat.

Step into the revolutionary times of the late 18th and early 19th centuries – an era marked by upheaval, military splendor, and a style that exuded self-confidence. During this period, one headwear set the tone and became the unmistakable symbol of the officer and the elegant gentleman: the bicorn hat .

Having surpassed the classic tricorn in popularity, the bicorn hat dominated the heads of leading figures and military officers during the Napoleonic Wars and beyond. Just think of Napoleon's iconic silhouette, inextricably linked to his bicorn worn sideways! It was not merely a hat, but a symbol of authority, rank, and a new, dynamic aesthetic . Whether worn "en bataille" (sideways) or "en colonne" (lengthwise), its distinctive shape commanded attention.

Wearing a bicorn hat means reliving a piece of this rich history. But true authenticity lies in the details and the craftsmanship. Our handcrafted bicorns are not mass-produced, but rather the result of traditional millinery. With the utmost care, precision, and knowledge of historical forms and materials, each bicorn is crafted by hand.

• Masterful craftsmanship: Every stitch, every fold, every shape follows the techniques of past centuries. This guarantees not only historical accuracy, but also a quality and durability that are rarely found today.
• Authentic silhouette: We place great importance on the exact reproduction of the characteristic, often dramatic silhouette of the Bicorn, which was so popular in the transition from the late 18th to the early 19th century.
• High-quality materials: Only materials that correspond to the historical model are used to reflect the look and feel of that era. (Wool and hair felt)
