Guerra 1855 - 144 years of experience

A family know-how

Guerra 1855 is a family business that has been passed down from father to son. Today, it is run by the 5th generation of the founder and continues to exercise all its expertise

Founded in 1855 at a time when the town of Borgosesia belonged to the Kingdom of Savoy and Sardinia, the company evolved at the foot of the Alps. The region was then the country of wool and textiles. At the beginning of the industrial era, the first spinning mills appeared. The wool felt industry then became one of the first industries in Italy. Fifteen years later, out of the three wool felt hat manufacturing factories in the region, only one remained, which bought out the other two. The main production of Guerra 1855, in its early days, was centered on felt hats for the Savoyard army as well as Italian hats. It also produced hats for Alpine hunters.

One hundred and forty-four years later, production has evolved significantly and is anchored in the trend of fashionable hats, both for men and women (50/50) with sales across Europe (85%) as well as in the U.S.A. and Japan.
