The Mühlbauer Hat Manufactory is a significant Viennese tradition-based business that has successfully transitioned into the modern era, revitalizing the image of hat fashion. Since 1903, this esteemed establishment has been producing hats and other chic headwear by hand. It has evolved from a small millinery workshop in a Viennese suburb into an internationally sought-after label for contemporary hat design.
