the 2024-2025 Collection

The new collection features flowers prominently. Arturo also has explored new forms and structures that allow his creations to soar as works of art. Fascinators tower, pillboxes form to the head; feathers dance to expand and to fill the space.

Arturo has also redoubled his commitment to the ethical and conscious sourcing and fabrication of all hats. All animal feathers are humanely gathered. Materials used in fabrication are non-toxic and safe for the environment.

Explore what this new collection offers with our best wishes for a celebratory 2024-2025 season!
