OUR PROCESS
Each Ane de Cocó hat passes through a slow, careful process in the atelier.
How we workWE MAKE EACH HAT SLOWLY, ONE BY ONE
From the first idea and colour palette to the last stitch, every Ane de Cocó piece is shaped, sewn and finished by hand in our studio on the Basque coast.
We work in small batches and bespoke commissions, so each hat has the time it needs to look and feel right on you.

01.Inspiration & sketch
We talk about your event, outfit and personality to choose the silhouette, colours and materials that suit you best.
02.Blocking the shape
Felt or straw is steamed and shaped on wooden blocks, then left to rest so the form settles naturally.
03.Stitching & structure
Brims and crowns are sewn, wired if needed, and the inside is finished for comfort and durability.
04.Fitting & balance
The hat is checked on the head, adjusted for balance and comfort, and refined until it feels “just right”.
05.Trims & details
Ribbons, veils and other details are chosen carefully so they enhance the shape instead of overpowering it.
06.Packaging & care
Finally, each piece is brushed, packed in a protective box and sent with care instructions so it can be loved for years.
