Hats & caps

The Caps, Berets and Hats category brings together original headwear designed and made by MALAM in an independent French workshop. More than simple accessories, these pieces play with shape, volume and fabric to frame the face and change the character of an outfit.

Designs range from soft, relaxed shapes to more structured styles, with different proportions, peaks and silhouettes depending on the model. Some are easy to wear every day, while others become a strong visual element when paired with jackets and coats.

A large part of the collection explores the newsboy cap, alongside berets, cap-and-hat hybrids and other shapes inspired by traditional headwear. Depending on the fabric and construction, the same basic form can feel retro, graphic, colorful or much more understated.

Color, pattern and fabric play a central role in the collection. Tweed, corduroy, cotton, denim, wax prints, houndstooth, checks, florals, vintage textiles and mixed-fabric designs give each piece its own character and make it possible to reinterpret the same shape in very different ways.

On selected styles, the peak can be gently reshaped to alter the line and overall look of the cap. Many designs are also fully lined and offered according to head circumference, so the fit and proportions can be adapted more closely to the wearer.

Depending on the design, caps, berets and hats may be in stock and ready to ship, made to order from an existing model, or available in a customizable version with a choice of fabric, color or material combination.

For customizable designs, the MALAM fabric library allows customers to explore available materials and imagine a version closer to their preferred colors, textures or clothing.

MALAM headwear pairs naturally with the clothing collection, from dresses to tops and blouses, but a cap or beret can also completely change a simple outfit through shape, texture or an unexpected fabric.

Made in France in small batches, one-of-a-kind pieces or limited quantities, MALAM caps, berets and hats are defined by their proportions, textile choices and distinctive silhouettes, offering an alternative to standardized headwear.
