BLANC hats are designed and produced in their studio at the historic center of Athens in Greece since 2014.
Creative director, Konstantinia Vafeiadou completed her studies in Fine Arts and Costume Design in Performance at the London College of Fashion, to then pursue her passion for craftsmanship and design, exploring the boundaries between fashion and millinery techniques to create BLANC.
All pieces are handmade and combine local artisanal millinery techniques with 3D design and premium materials. The production team works side by side with the last millinery female artisans in order to carry and spread word about their craft for future generations. Vivid and bright colors aim to create imaginative and playful designs which are both abstract and artistic, yet wearable for everyday.
All materials and fabrics are responsibly and ethically sourced from the Merino wool to the Paper straw. BLANC is artisanal, beginning-to-end allowing for a controlled production line that is sustainable.
