From my Heart / Shield

Shield HAT 

The Mühlbauer  model is a shield made from sinamay, a light, transparent straw weave made from the fibers of a banana plant native to East Asia. The hat is ideal for elegant occasions and parties, but also for everyday summer wear in the city.

100 years after it was founded, the company is now in its fourth generation with Klaus Mühlbauer, Heinz and Brigitte's son. Klaus learned the trade of milliner and milliner as a traditional apprenticeship in the family business and studied business administration. After years of training in the textile industry, he returned to the family business in 2001 and transformed the traditional Viennese company into an international hat label. He concentrated on the origins of the company - headwear - and gave the collections and brand a new look.
