Carina
Belfry Italia - Montappone Collection
Carina S.R.L.S. is a vibrant expression of Italian craftsmanship rooted in one of the country’s most storied artisan centers—Montappone. This small town in the Marche region has been the beating heart of Italian hat-making since the 14th century, with techniques and traditions passed down through generations. Carina carries this legacy forward, reinterpreting it for the modern age. Every accessory they create pays homage to Montappone’s history, while embracing the evolution of global fashion.
Breaking Down the Boundaries of Conventional Style
Founded with the vision of blending heritage with inclusivity, Carina was established to break down the boundaries of conventional style. Rather than focus solely on traditional Italian fashion, the brand infuses its collections with multicultural elements—vibrant prints, diverse silhouettes, and trend-forward designs that speak to a global audience. Their mission is clear: to create accessories that are not only beautifully made but also reflective of a world that is interconnected and ever-changing.
What sets Carina apart is its unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity. All of their products are 100% Made in Italy, produced by local artisans who continue the town’s centuries-old dedication to precision, detail, and excellence. This focus on craftsmanship is not a trend for Carina—it’s a core value. In a world of mass production, Carina’s handmade approach provides a unique value proposition for customers who appreciate both story and substance.
Carina’s product range spans from timeless classics to bold, statement pieces, designed to meet the needs of a fashion-conscious clientele. Their designs are adaptable, modern, and inclusive, making them ideal for customers who want to express individuality while still connecting to a rich cultural tradition. This fusion of old and new, local and global, positions Carina as a truly unique player in the fashion accessory market.
In essence, Carina is not just making accessories—it is crafting identity. By drawing from the artisanal roots of Montappone and channeling the pulse of global fashion, the brand stands at the intersection of history and modernity. Carina invites wearers to be part of a story that honors tradition and confidently looks to the future.
At Hats in the Belfry, we especially favor Carina’s summer and winter knit cloche hats and caps. Their simplicity, packability, and comfort make them ideal for everyday wear and travel alike. Whether it's a lightweight knit for warm days or a cozy winter style, each Carina hat offers effortless charm rooted in Italian heritage.
