It is a slow, demanding process that requires many stages of work. It’s not that easy to make a hat but I love it and enjoy it. It usually takes a whole day to make one, but it depends on the model and the materials that I use.

My customers are usually older people, men and women who are used to wearing hats. Generally speaking, the younger generations have a slightly different style. Luckily, I still have clients who consider hats as part of their identity and who always come back to me.

Yes, but I don't like to single anyone out. To me, all my customers are equally important and it is essential to me that every single one of them – from the first to the last – is happy with my hats and enjoys wearing them.

I have lived in the world of hats since I was twelve, when my father started introducing me to this business. I'm still young: I'm only 67 years old, you know. I plan to do this craft as long as my health serves me. And I hope it will do for a long time to come.
