A legacy woven through generations 

Our story began in 1926, with Ezio Bigalli Corbani, born into a family of master hatmakers in Signa, Italy. Fueled by a dream, Ezio journeyed to Ecuador, a land celebrated for its iconic Panama Hats. There, he wove not just hats, but a legacy that endures today. 

For over four generations, the Bigalli name has stood for dedication, tradition, and excellence. Every hat carries the spirit of a timeless craft, brought to life by skilled Ecuadorian hands. When you choose Bigalli, you wear more than a hat—you wear a piece of history, a story of resilience, and a commitment to elegance.
