A story that you can wear on your head and in your heart
Once Upon a Time...
In a world where the art of handmade hats was being forgotten, a noble hat enthusiast named Panos, also known as Mr. Pappa Hats, embarked on a magical journey. His quest was to create a treasure trove of custom hats, each one a testament to craftsmanship, quality, and style. The kingdom he built, named Agnoulita after his beloved queen Agnes, was a tribute to her unwavering support and the inspiring collection of handcrafted hats she'd bestowed upon him over the years.
The Heart of Our Kingdom
In the land of Agnoulita, we cater to the gallant gentlemen and elegant ladies who appreciate the charm of slow fashion. Our artisans pour their hearts into creating custom handmade hats that offer comfort, durability, and style. Each hat, crafted with premium materials and the careful touch of a skilled hand, is a unique masterpiece, a testament to our belief in quality over quantity.
Our Enchanted Vision
In our kingdom of Agnoulita, we believe that small is mighty. We're devoted to remaining a boutique haven, a place where the passion for creating the finest handmade hats thrives. We're here to serve those who appreciate custom-made hats and are mindful of the darker spell mass production casts on our planet. We're not just crafting hats, we're weaving stories and dreams into every stitch, all while sprinkling a little magic to protect our beautiful Earth.
More Than Just a Kingdom
Agnoulita is not just a brand – it's an enchanting tale of love, passion, and craftsmanship. When you wear an Agnoulita custom hat, you're not just donning a piece of cloth. You're wearing a piece of our story, a fragment of our dream. You become part of the Agnoulita family, a loyal fellowship of hat lovers who value quality over quantity and share our passion for handmade, custom hat design and sustainability.
Meet Our Handcrafted Hat Artisans
Panos - Founder & Master Hatter
I know how important it is to create and offer high quality products.
When a hat leaves my studio, I want the customer wearing it to be proud of their purchase and confident they own something that represents the best craftsmanship I can provide. For this reason, I never let a hat leave unless I am sure that I would wear it myself if given the opportunity.
Quality control is not just about examining stitches or materials; it's also about making sure that what I'm creating is something that passes my own personal "interview" before entering another person's collection.
Anna - Hat Designer & Maker
Every single stitch matters when it comes to producing a perfectly crafted hat.
It takes attention to detail not only in the stitches that bind together the material but also in those stitches placed in strategic patterns and locations. While it's rarely easy for an untrained eye to spot an imperfection, each of the stitches is examined with a careful eye in the painstaking process of making hats finished to perfection. Quality comes from exact measurements and thread tightness, making sure that every stitch is held together with precision and accuracy.
This attention to detail is why hats made with these standards stand out from others on the market - there's beauty in these little details.
Ioanna - Finishing Department
Ioanna brings a unique diligence and expertise to hat making that is rarely seen.
Each hat she creates is crafted with the utmost attention to detail and quality, leaving no stitch unperfected. Whether it's artfully finishing the brim or gathering precisely placed pleats, Ioanna is a master of hat making.
As a key member of our hat finishing department, her skills are invaluable and we are proud to have her as part of our team.
Dionysia - Maker, Customer Service
Dionysia is a hat maker, photographer and customer service employee who is passionate about her craft.
Each hat she produces is of the highest quality - handcrafted with attention to detail and materials sourced from local suppliers.

Myrto - Hat Maker
Myrto is my junior hat maker and I cannot thank her enough for all the hard work she does for me every day.
She is incredibly skilled in hat making, with a talent for creating quality hats for us. Her attention to detail throughout the hatmaking process means that each hat is produced to its highest level of craftsmanship and artistry.
Without Myrto's hatmaking skills, our business would not be nearly as successful as we've become. It's clear why she makes such an important part of our team, and I'm grateful to have her around!

WITH JOURNALIST IOANNA VOUTSI FOR PEMPTOUSIA TV STATION
Filming a documentary film
"Bespoke fashion is a rewarding field - there is no feeling quite like seeing the joy on the faces of customers when they receive something you have crafted with your own hands.
Creating unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that are tailored to their specifications, not only in terms of shape and size but also any individual customization that adds a special touch, allows them to feel truly satisfied with their purchase.
Knowing that I have managed to achieve this level of quality for a customer who resides on the other side of the globe is an incomparable feeling; whether it's a five-star review, a "thank you!" note or a photo from their wedding or vacation wearing my hat - these are all sentiments every craftsperson strives for and can hold dear."
