GLOBAL EVENTS FOR FASHION PROFESSIONALS​

Maker*Lab, a creative and experiential area

Over the past several editions, Denim PV has proved to be the ideal place to experiment with everything and anything denim-related. Once again this December, the Denim team will surprise you with a brand new space: the Maker*Lab.

MAKER*Lab is a space for learning, experimenting and creation.
It’s dedicated to select manufacturers and designers with a contemporary vision of artisanal craftsmanship. At the show, they’ll share their creative approaches and the fabrication methods that went into the hand-designed and handcrafted products they’ll be presenting at the Maker*Lab.

This is a chance for you to experiment with artisanal techniques and traditional and modern know-hows, to help you dream up the creations of the future.

Meet the Makers!

Raw Hat – Western handcrafted hats

Raw Hat was born one winter’s morning in the Hat Factory F.lli Vimercati in Monza, among the felt, wood, iron and steam, in an atmosphere suspended in time, where the heat of the boiler and the passion of the family that has managed the company since 1953 both evoke a past marked by a passion for work, artisanal tradition and the memory of age-old customs.

A place where mastery and experience, the dozens of manual steps between felt processing, shaping and shaving, result in a unique product, something rich and special: an authentic hat.

As fans of Vintage & Denim and good sustainable practices, we couldn’t not embrace the philosophy of these master hatters.

Raw Hat was born as a productive collaboration, which finds the right value in the use of age-old wooden shapes and manual shapes, in a quality collection inspired by the American western tradition from the beginning of the last century, and the celebration of the myth of the West.
