Hat Designer Francesco Ballestrazzi
Francesco
Ballestrazzi Hats & Creations was born in September 2011 from the will of
the designer to create unique headpieces beyond the common idea of hat.
Francesco Ballestrazzi uses the spherical shape of the head as a white canvas
on which he builds a representation of the ideas the head can contain. Working
with the head surface let the designer express his visions without any
constrictions. Every piece is hand made by Francesco Ballestrazzi himself, and
he is always using antique techniques of the italian tradition of millinery, as
well as new and unique proceedings he invents himself. Because of its
craftsmanship and the use of precious material, Francesco Ballestrazzi ‘s
collections are showcased and sold in luxury boutiques around the world, where
customers can appreciate the value of every detail. Francesco Ballestrazzi
produces also a capsule collection of customized baseball hats, intended for a
larger audience, which can appreciate artisanal details in everyday hats,
embellished with artistic and precious decorations.
