Honorary President

Master Nicolae Zdârcă

What can be said about Master Nicu … he is the only hatmaker who has passed the test of time and showed all hatters what true passion for hats means. He started making hats at the age of 14, and now, at the age of 94, he continues to open the door of his store in Bucharest. He is as wise man as he is humorous.

Rich, poor, kings, film and theater celebrities, they all have had the honor of calling him their hatmaker!
