Story

We are a hat specialist shop with a long-standing tradition. But it is precisely this tradition that means for us that we are always up to date.

Our house can look back on a long history. The profession of hat maker, formerly also called hat maker, has a long tradition in the hat maker house in Haag.

The first mention of a hat maker dates back to 1534, where the first hat maker was listed in the Haag tax book with an annual tax of 2 shillings and 8 pfennigs. That was the beginning of the hatter's house in Haag. Since then, milliners have worked here almost without interruption.

The company has been run as a family business in Haag, Upper Bavaria, since 1534.

After the renovation in the 1950s, the purely men's hat business was expanded and the range was expanded to include women's hats and accessories.

The store offers the right headgear for every head. Headwear for women, men and children from leading German and international manufacturers is offered on approximately 50 m². Since 2004, our range has also been available online at www.hutwelt.com.

For us, our quality standards are the top priority of our company. This is the only way we can identify with every product we offer you. That's why we have set up this homepage for you so that we can provide you with even better information about our products.
