The collection's unmistakable signature unites elegance, liveliness, quality and individualism. The combination of clear-cut design paired with flamboyant materials is highlighted by colors used in this collection, which are mostly light, delicate and ethereal (smoke, beige, light green), complemented by details in strong colors (aurora red, kiwi, purple) as well as elements in dusty colors (tobacco, grey, grass-green).
The collection was designed in Vienna (Barbara Habig & Cary Kwok) and manufactured in Germany with carefully selected materials. 143 years of headwear… Habig hats looks back on a long tradition of excellence. The Habig family is originally from Freiburg and its family history goes back to the year 1550.
Peter Habig moved to Vienna in 1853. He served his 5-year-apprenticeship as a hat maker and became a journeyman. Back then, a single apprentice worked at Habig's small hat shop.
