Founded in 1992 by Céline Robert, who hails from a family of Parisian hatmakers, Celine Robert Chapeaux continues a legacy of French millinery dating back to 1905. With a background in sculpture from the Beaux-Arts in Paris, Robert approaches each hat as a wearable art object, merging traditional craftsmanship with a modern, architectural style. The brand is renowned for its mastery of felt, straw, and ceremonial headdresses, all entirely handcrafted in its workshop in Sarthe, France. This commitment to artisanal excellence earned the atelier the prestigious “Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant” (Living Heritage Company) label, a government recognition of outstanding French craftsmanship.
