What Van Palma is known for
Marseille millinery label founded 2014 by designer Victoria Sanguinetti; wool-felt winter hats and Ecuadorian toquilla-straw summer hats made in France, sold at retailers including Paris's Printemps department store.
Van Palma was founded in Marseille in 2014 by Victoria Sanguinetti, a young designer from the city who chose to pursue hat design over a business degree. The brand's winter collection is made from 100% merino wool felt in a Stetson-inspired silhouette, produced in one of the last remaining traditional millinery workshops in France; its broader-brimmed summer hats use toquilla straw sourced from a women's weaving cooperative in Ecuador. Pieces are assembled in workshops in Marseille's 8th arrondissement, and the brand markets itself as 100% made in France. Van Palma hats are sold through a number of retail partners, including Printemps, the Paris department store - but Printemps is a retailer carrying the brand, not the brand's own base, which is Marseille.
