BAGDONE
HANDMADE DREAMS
THE BRAND
BAGDONE brand was established by Evaldas Bagdonas and Greta Navickaite, a London based designer-maker duo, to create bespoke, timeless headwear evoking re-interpreted individuality which is balanced out with a sense of ease in contemporary tailoring. Each design is an aesthetical fusion of effortlessly vivacious environments inserted into heady anticipation of daily living.

THE CREATORS
From a very early age Evaldas has been introduced to traditional fine leather craft at his father’s shoe factory and Greta is a jeweller working with the most precious gems and metals. They joined forces in a creative union to apply these skills and passion for artisan techniques to make the highest quality bespoke hats.

THE VISION
At the core of BAGDONE is a sentiment towards heritage craftsmanship, a place of purpose, sustainability and creative inspiration that custom pieces provide. With a shared desire to create with our hands something truly exceptional, we bring back the romance of dexterity which is rooted in timeless harmony of a luxurious legacy that will last a lifetime.
MADE BY HAND
Quality craftsmanship and highly tailored construction are applied to all our products. Every hat is handmade by us using only premium materials sourced from the best tanneries and suppliers around the world. We don’t make only a hat, it is a luxury headpiece, which is not only about the finest materials, but also about the skills, knowledge and time that was put into making it.
Each hat is shaped by hand only, giving it a unique body each time. The leather sweatband is hand-stitched using the most durable, two-needle technique that no machine can match. Speciality silk is used for lining the hat. We truly believe in one of a kind, quality products that are meticulously made in a more sustainable way and last you a lifetime.
ACCESSORIES
Using ribbons, leather, paint, chains, gemstones and even elements like fire is where the hat truly takes on a personality. Accessories help us to express the customer's wishes and show what their identity and charisma is all about. The design can be most classic and minimal or can go wild and eccentric. For most luxurious design variations we can make the jewellery in-house by hand using materials such as gold, silver and precious stones. By exclusively designing accessories, we can elevate the hat to a whole new level and make it a true head turner and conversation starter.

PERSONALISATION
To make the hat even more unique and entirely yours we emboss your name, initials or anything you would like on the inner leather sweatband by hand. Lettering is applied on the leather by heating special stainless steel letter sets before applying them on to the leather in silver, gold foil or blind emboss, resulting in very crisp and clean embossing.
