Hats for ceremonies

Having its origin in the Latin word « Caerimonia », which means « sacred, ceremonial rite », the term « ceremony » is used today to describe a special meeting to give an enhanced value to a personal, religious, political or social event. For example, ceremonies can be for marriages, baptisms, the conferring of diplomas, the swearing in of politicians in government posts, as well as other solemn and formal events. The wedding, with all the associated glamour, is the act of legally joining two people to live a life together and raise a family, and is amongst the most prestigious of social ceremonies. There are families who prepare for months or even a year in advance, so that they can have all the charm and refinements which they seek. Everything is thought out and planned in detail: the church, the reception venue, the decorative touches, the invitations, and the clothing. Masters of Ceremonies are hired to ensure that the festivities take place in a satisfactory manner.

The wedding invitations are sent out far and wide months in advance so that the guests will be available on the wedding day and can prepare their outfits for the event. Once the date is confirmed, and if the bride wants bridesmaids, the hats are purchased or made especially for the event.

My desire was to create beautiful hat cases, cases that combine elegance, functionality and refinement. For this, I called upon my friend, the very talented Brazilian designer Gabriela Goldschmidt De La Fuente. The main design objective was to create an image that reference the G in the Gedilva logo, perfectly representing the brand signature. Gabriela created a sleek and dynamic design in two colors that created strong visual recognition of the brand. The motifs representing a stylized G, refer back to the logo to give a very aesthetically appealing look.

I wanted the hat cases to be fabricated in France. French craftsmanship represents the highest manufacturing quality and expertise in luxury items. I selected Multi Services Carton in Paris, who have specialized in producing luxury packaging for many years. Each of my cases is made exclusively by hand with flawless manufacturing quality.

I wanted a case that would be representative of the quality of my brand, and that matched the style and panache of the hat within the case. When you purchase a Gedilva designed hat, you will possess a high fashion and high quality hat and case set that will accompany you throughout your life.
