Mutinelli

Milan


Millayne bonnets were all the rage in the 15th and 16th centuries, so much so that they gave the city its name. Founded a few centuries later in 1888, Mutinelli is the oldest milliner in Milan, and its historic premises are filled to the rafters with stylish headgear made of the finest felt, fabric, leather and Ecuadorean toquilla palm.

Walking sticks, umbrellas and suspenders can also be purchased for a dapper finish.
