Why "made-to-order"?
As a creator myself, I have been engaged in the business of designing and engineering ready-to-wear women's clothing for designer brands. In the process of coming up with a product that would suit many people and designing it in line with the direction of the brand, there was a time when I wondered, "Who should I make and what should I make for whom?"
　
At that time, I remembered that I had started making hats when I was a student.
When I was a student at a fashion university, there were many people around me who could make clothes, but there were few people who could make hats. Therefore, I received consultations such as "I want a hat like this, but it is not sold in the store", "I can't find a hat that fits me", "I want you to make a beret out of the cloth I designed", etc., and I was working in a custom-made style of making hats while listening to each person's request.
　
I felt that the style of creating while talking with the wearer and checking "Is the size comfortable?" was very simple, with a clear "who and what to make" and the goal of creating a product that would please one person in front of me.
　
After all, I wanted to do a job where I could see the faces of the creator and the customer, so I left the company in 2019. We have resumed hat making, which we have been doing since we were students, under the brand name "Première main". We started making products with a focus on hats with designs that make use of three-dimensional cutting and drapes that we have trained in clothing making, and designs that incorporate embroidery techniques that we learned in France.
　
　
　

What are we doing?

"Première main" is a brand of custom hats.
　
The term "Première main" was first introduced to the designer in his atelier in Paris when he was studying abroad in France. It describes the profession of a seamstress who works with her hands in a haute couture atelier. I can't make a lot of them, but I want to be a creator who can carefully make them one by one and hand them over, so I named it that.
　
In order for customers who pick up the hat to use it for a long time, we value the soft texture of the material. And even if they are the same size, the shape of the head is different for each person. By softening the finish, we try to make the hat easy to fit on the customer's head with less burden when wearing.
　
What is important in hat making?
　
Because hats are close to the face, they have a great influence on the impression of the person who wears them. In addition to whether the size fits, the silhouette of the part where the head enters called the crown, the length and angle of the brim will greatly change the impression. And the balance of the hat that looks good on you will also change depending on your height and body type.
　
While observing the customer's situation of trying on the hat through the order meeting, I learned that it is possible to make a hat that is more comfortable for that person with a little adjustment. I also learned that if a hat is not the right size or balance, no matter how nice it is, it will not be worn. When we receive an order and produce it, we will take care of the image of the existing design and fine-tune the balance to suit the customer.
In addition to production and sales, we also provide after-sales services such as mold remodeling and replacement of size ribbons after sales so that customers can wear them comfortably for a long time.
　
　

Commitment to the product

"Laurence"
I love soft hats, but I wanted a hat that could be worn in a slightly softer atmosphere, and this Laurence was born. It features a design in which a large drape tuck is fastened with a quilt pin to change the form.
There are three types of brim shapes. It is a model that constantly evolves to meet customer demands.
　
　
　
"Pascal"
A crochet with a somewhat classic atmosphere.
　
Lift the back of the brim for a sporty look, even like a cap
The brim can be lowered and arranged like a crochet.
In fact, this shape is a hat that I designed when I was 20 years old, and I re-designed it according to my current mood. What I like is the design that made me realize that I still like it even after all these years.
　
　
"Scarf cap
Functional and elegant, we propose a fresh cap style
　
Born from a request from a customer who said, "I want a nice hat that can be folded," it is a new cap style that is tied to the head like a scarf.
Its feature is that it has a simple structure like a scarf and can be folded flat, and the hat becomes three-dimensional only when it is worn on the head. Originally, hats are made by many curved patterns (patterns) to follow the sphere of the head. This scarf cap is made of a flat piece of cloth, which is the exact opposite of the conventional concept of a hat. And the biggest feature is that the action of "tying" creates a drape of the natural flow of the cloth and changes it into the shape of a hat.
　
　

Who are supporting us?

The ratio of customers is 7:3, and many of them are women.

As for the characteristics, of course, there are many hat lovers and fashion lovers.
Even for customers who are not good at hats, such as "I don't know what kind of hat looks good on me" or "I don't look good with hats," by serving customers politely through the actual try-on experience, it often leads to purchase.
　
And it is possible to order a wide range of sizes from 56 cm to 62 cm. Therefore, it is supported by customers who cannot find a comfortable size that fits them.
