NELLY BICHET CHAPEAUX

Formerly located in Old Mans, under the brand name Kokochnik (name of a traditional Russian cap), this workshop for the manufacture and creation of hats is now on a moored barge near the centre of Le Mans. Its ready-to-wear collections are available in limited series in Paris, Le Mans, Rome and London. Its unique and custom-made hats are very chic and highly inventive (pheasant feathers and other animal and vegetable materials are falling apart to offer exceptional, portable creations or on specific occasions). Summer ("flower" hats) as winter (beret, rain caps…), Nelly Bichet will create what she calls "the head ornament" which siéra you most. Do not hesitate to embark on board for a small visit.
