It nowadays belong to a new group of investors who are re-launching this iconic brand that has made the history of elegance. A fame that has been for sure helped by the strong interest of Hollywood and its actors for the hat designed by Borsalino in the city of Alessandria in the Piedmont region.

B for Briglia 1949
A relatively young brand born in the homeland of tailoring: Naples. Inspired by the sartorial lines typical of equestrian clothing, the brand takes its name from the italian word that means “bridle” while the number 1949 indicates the year of birth of Michele Carillo, the company’s founder.
From the sunny coastal views of Naples and its surroundings the brand has now conquered foreign markets like Northern Europe and Japan thanks to its ability to merge an excellent quality to a democratic pricing policy.
“Thanks to our expertise we have been able to make ourselves known and appreciated throughout Europe, including England, in Japan, where we record excellent results, in Korea and Canada. We are currently working to land in the United States, we are in negotiations with some showrooms and sales offices, starting from the spring/summer 2024 collection”
