The spring/summer collection 08 is an interpretation of timeless and casual luxury, inspired by the sun, summer, passion and a longing for seemingly endless waters, combined with treasures found while style-searching the company-owned Habig Hut archives.

These archives include hats dating from 1865 to 2007, e.g. various bowler hats from around 1900, hats worn by Austrian generals around 1898, the hat of a wedding dancer (wedding riccasoli, Italy, 4th century) and other rarities. Fine materials (e.g. straw, cleverly combined with sophisticated patent leather) reflect youthful elegance with a sense for the practical, the spirit of travel and adventure and the anticipation of encounters on the world's most beautiful beaches.

The collection's style is characterised by a strongly masculine design, animating and responding to the masculine in the feminine as well as the feminine in the masculine.
Designs are harmonious, clean-cut and simple, combined with love of detail, especially with a historical touch. The hats are multi-functional as well as elegant and chic.

This exquisite and swanky Habig Hut collection's signature is a mixture of exclusive and flamboyant, extremely light and fine materials – straw with patent leather, straw with crocodile leather, ostrich leather – as well as a combination of linen and leather. Every hat is an expression of an extraordinary joie de vivre, quality and individuality.

Materials have been selected to allow for high wearing comfort: most models can be conveniently tucked into your bag or your luggage so that your must-have accessory will be your perfect companion in your busy life.
