Crafting Elegance in the Heart of Montappone
Complit was founded in 1989 in Montappone, a picturesque hilltop village in Italy’s Marche region, renowned as the epicenter of Italian hat-making. This region has a rich history dating back to the 14th century when local farmers began weaving straw into hats to protect themselves from the elements during harvest. Over time, this humble craft evolved into a sophisticated industry, with Montappone emerging as a global hub for hat production. The town now houses over 40 artisanal enterprises, preserving and advancing this centuries-old tradition.
Complit stands as a testament to the legacy of Montappone, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. Founded by Marisa Ricucci, the company remains a family-run business, deeply rooted in the local community. Complit's mission is to create unique, high-quality hats that enhance the wearer's features and complement their personal style. The brand offers a diverse range of products, including elegant ceremony hats, veiled fascinators, Panama hats, cloches, and berets, each crafted with meticulous attention to detail .
The production process at Complit is a harmonious blend of artistry and innovation. Each hat is handcrafted using premium materials such as fine straw, wool felt, and sinamay fabric. The artisans employ both traditional techniques and modern technologies to ensure precision and quality in every piece. This commitment to excellence has garnered Complit a reputation for producing hats that are not only stylish but also durable and comfortable.
Today, Complit continues to thrive in Montappone, contributing to the town's rich heritage and global reputation in the hat-making industry. The company's dedication to quality, innovation, and tradition ensures that each hat not only serves as a functional accessory but also as a piece of wearable art, reflecting the timeless elegance of Italian craftsmanship.
