About Lhiver – Timeless Craftsmanship Since 1966

At Lhiver, we believe a hat defines the person. Every piece is custom-made, individually measured, and shaped with precision.

As the only atelier in the world still handcrafting top hats and bowler hats using traditional methods, we have been committed to true craftsmanship for over 55 years.

We serve a wide and distinguished clientele – from riders and carriage drivers to collectors, performers, and even the Royal Stables of the Netherlands.

Lhiver stands for elegance, tradition, and artisanal excellence. Every hat tells a story – and it begins with us.
