De Bornarel: The Art of Revealing Without Unveiling

A young man in a wide-brimmed black hat and vintage-style clothing leans against a classic black car in an open field with rolling hills in the background.

De Bornarel is more than a millinery house. It is a philosophy, a way of life that whispers individuality, invites self-revelation, and celebrates the elegance of mystery.

Each hat is a promise: that of a personal horizon to explore, where one’s inner light emerges, delicately sheltered by a chosen veil of shadow.

At the heart of this vision stands Marguerite, the designer, whose story is one of sublime duality shaping the soul of De Bornarel.

From childhood, she was surrounded by precious fabrics and the precise gestures of Parisian haute couture workshops, under the expert eye of her grandmother, a seamstress for the most renowned fashion houses.

At the same time, equestrian arenas became her kingdom, leading her to the title of French Champion in Show Jumping.

From this experience was born a profound understanding of balance: between the absolute mastery of gesture and the essential letting-go that makes freedom possible, a powerful metaphor for life itself.

It is this aesthetic tension, this constant dialogue between Parisian refinement and untamed strength, that Marguerite infuses into every De Bornarel creation.

After sharpening her eye and hand through travels and experimentation, she now reinvents millinery while honoring French tradition. Each hat is assembled by hand in her Parisian atelier, using wool felts crafted through exceptional French savoir-faire.

The choice of high-quality materials, sourced responsibly, and the occasionally bespoke approach to our most prestigious creations embody a pursuit of absolute excellence and unmatched creative mastery.

Beyond the shape lies the detail: the chains, ancestral symbols of the ties between earth and sky, are forged in Paris by master jewelers with goldsmith-level precision. They are adorned with a discreetly integrated round medallion, a personal seal for each wearer.

In a world where every signal is captured and traced, where privacy has become rare, wearing a De Bornarel is an act of sovereignty. It is choosing to express one’s individuality with subtle audacity, to cultivate one’s mystery, to embrace the precious luxury of chosen intimacy.

The hat thus becomes a faithful companion, a shield of elegance that accompanies the soul in its exploration of distant horizons as well as the most intimate ones. It embodies the freedom to define oneself without fully revealing oneself, honoring the wearer’s personality with consideration and respect.

De Bornarel: Where the soul finds its horizon, guided by your own rhythm and ambitions. True luxury is not to be seen, but to choose when to be.
