Inside Our Hat Factory

From raw material to shipment,
control at every step.

Every step happens in our own workshops — steadier quality, tighter lead times, and problems caught on the line, not after delivery. That is what full-process control means for your program.

N° 01

Raw Material Control

Every program starts at intake. Madagascar raffia, wheat straw, seagrass, paper yarn — each lot is inspected and matched against specification before it goes anywhere near a machine. With over 5,000 braiding machines and our own paper-yarn winding lines, every braid and strand is made under our own roof — the quality standard is set from the raw material up.

Sewing Team

Flat braid becomes a hat here — in the hands of sewing masters with decades at the machine, coiled and stitched into form in under two minutes. The same team runs trial orders and full seasonal programs alike, so the stitching your buyer approves on the sample is exactly what ships in bulk.

Decoration & Trim Team

Embroidery, printing, sublimation, leather patches, sweatbands, ribbons — the details that carry your brand are finished in-house rather than sent out. That keeps lead times short, and keeps every logo and label consistent from the first sample to the last carton.

Blocking Team

More than a thousand molds line our blocking rooms, built up over three decades — most silhouette requests can be matched to an existing mold straight away. Heat and pressure lock each shape in, so the hat your customer sees on the shelf is the one that left our line, even after pressing, packing, and a sea crossing.

Warehouse

Fabric, raw material, and trims are stocked in separate, organized zones — counted, labelled, and traceable to their source. Thousands of raw materials are kept in stock year-round, so sampling never waits on procurement — and a repeat order starts moving the day you confirm it.

Sample Room

This is where 5–7 day samples are born. An archive of over 100,000 styles built across decades — growing by thousands of new designs every year — means that whichever market you sell into, we can quickly pull recommendation samples to match it. Approve one, and the same specification walks straight onto the production line.

Dedicated Team

Merchandisers, pattern makers, and QC — one team carries your program from first sketch to loaded container. Your questions are answered from beside the production line, not relayed through a middleman. That is the last step of full-process control: accountability with a face.
