The Fedora owes its aura to the famous Italian hatmaker Giuseppe Borsalino. At the end of the 19th century, while men predominantly wore the Bowler Hat, Borsalino designed an ingenious model, marked by a central crease and side dimples. This subtle innovation allowed men to doff their hats with remarkable ease, adding a gallant touch to every gesture. Quickly adopted by the elegant men of the era, the Fedora became a true fashion phenomenon, crowned by an international triumph at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900. Since then, the name "Borsalino" has entered common parlance, now synonymous with this legendary hat.
The Fedora soon conquered Hollywood and became a cinematic icon as early as the 1930s.
Worn by legends such as Frank Sinatra and Humphrey Bogart, this hat embodies mystery and seduction on the big screen. It became the preferred accessory for filmmakers to dress private detectives, incorruptible policemen, and enigmatic gangsters.
Beyond cinema, the Fedora symbolizes boldness, discreet confidence, and traverses the ages with intact grace, always a companion to men and women who wish to assert their style with refinement and subtlety.
Symbol of timeless refinement, the Fedora Hat has established itself for over a century as a centerpiece of the elegant wardrobe. Its structured silhouette, flexible brim, and central crease give it a natural presence, both classic and profoundly current.
A piece of style, a piece of character, it defines an allure that does not seek to seduce, but to impose itself naturally.
Long a companion of masculine silhouettes, it has gracefully entered women's wardrobes, charming with its soft lines, generous shadow, and multiple style variations.
In our selection, each model embodies a subtle balance between assertive style and technical excellence. From merino felt or rabbit fur models for cold seasons to water-repellent felt versions or lightweight materials designed for outdoor use, it meets all demands without ever compromising on elegance.
At Bon Clic Bon Genre, it is available in a high-end range where the perfect cut meets the most refined finishes: tone-on-tone or contrasting ribbons, crafted crowns, serrated or raw brims. An attention to detail found in each piece, designed to last and gracefully transcend trends.
Some versions display a strong urban spirit, others evoke a taste for travel or technical materials. Between player inspiration or classic revisits, the Fedora asserts a rare freedom of tone, while anchoring itself in a quality artisanal tradition.
In the summer collection, the Panama takes on its iconic lines, just like the Trilby Hat whose brim has simply been shortened. The Outback Hat also remains a similar model but its brim lowers at the back to better protect the neck.
To vary the pleasures while keeping the spirit of a character hat, one can also turn to the men's cap — more casual — or to a docker, short and contemporary silhouette. Each shape says something about oneself: the Fedora, in particular, speaks of confidence, elegance, and a certain art of living.
