Hats off to Borsalino’s New Line: Eyewear

The summer may be winding down, but the sun is still shining brightly in many places.

If you have been searching for a new pair of sunglasses—100% made in Italy—then this new line by Borsalino may be just for you!

Borsalino has long made its marko n the accessories market.

Established in 1857, Borsalino started at the top—with hats, which I recently brought to you in an article on natural dyes from Rubia.

Throughout the decades, Borsalino expanded into perfumes, watches, and suits.

Drawing on its strong heritage of quality design, Borsalino has added the particular element that was missing: eyewear.

This new line of eyewear follows geometrical shapes, heterogeneous in nature, drawing inspiration from the styles of the 1970’s.

Borsalino Hats Go Green with Rubia® Red

Rubia® Pigmenta Naturalia has been on the cutting edge in red eco-dyes, which date back to over two millennia.

Now, thanks to Rubia®, Italian hat brand Borsalino has a Rubia® dyed hat line.

After having mastered the art of hat making in France, Alessandro Giuseppe Borsalino opened a workshop in Alessandria, Italy.

In 1857, his brother Lazzaro joined hands and the millinery legend began.

Now, more than 150 years later, Borsalino turns an eye to “green” dyes from the Netherlands as Rubia® colors their felt hats with tints of red and brown.
