Description
A free-spirited icon of bohemian glamour — Alanui’s signature fringed silhouette reimagined in shimmering sequins for effortless evening allure.
Crafted by Alanui — the Italian label founded by siblings Nicolò and Carlotta Oddi — this sequined hat captures the brand’s signature spirit of relaxed luxury and wanderlust. Known for transforming the iconography of the classic fringed cardigan into a full lifestyle universe, Alanui brings its unmistakable artisanal sensibility to this statement accessory. The hat’s elongated silhouette and cascading fringe pay homage to the brand’s nomadic, free-spirited aesthetic, while the intricate sequin embellishment introduces a glamorous, light-catching dimension suited to after-dark occasions.
Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in Italy, reflecting the house’s commitment to slow craftsmanship and artisanal heritage. The dense sequin coverage creates a fluid, reflective surface that catches the light with every movement, while the long, flowing fringe adds kinetic drama reminiscent of the brand’s iconic cardigan tassels. The wide-brim construction frames the face beautifully, making this piece as much a sculptural statement as it is a functional accessory. Every sequin is carefully applied to ensure lasting wear, embodying the meticulous Italian craftsmanship that has defined Alanui since its 2016 debut.
Designed for the modern, globally inspired woman, this hat bridges the gap between resort glamour and evening sophistication. It carries the same artisanal DNA that has earned Alanui a devoted following among collectors of statement luxury pieces — a wearable expression of the brand’s jet-set soul.

The wool and cashmere base provides a soft yet structured foundation that holds the wide-brim shape beautifully while remaining lightweight and breathable. Alanui’s signature sequin work uses densely layered polyester sequins for a fluid, mirror-like finish. The hand-finished fringe is composed of fine wool yarn, echoing the tasseled details found throughout the brand’s celebrated knitwear collections.
Styling
Pair this dramatic sequined hat with a flowing silk caftan or a monochrome jumpsuit for an elevated evening ensemble. For a true Alanui-inspired look, style it with one of the brand’s iconic fringed cardigans worn loosely over a slip dress, letting the hat’s shimmer play against the knit’s tactile texture. Ideal for sunset cocktail events, resort evenings, or any occasion where statement-making glamour is the order of the day.
Brand Heritage
Alanui was founded in 2016 by siblings Nicolò and Carlotta Oddi in Milan, Italy, debuting with a single icon: the fringed cashmere cardigan. Drawing inspiration from their globetrotting upbringing between Italy and Hawaii, the duo built a brand rooted in artisanal craftsmanship, generational knowledge, and a bohemian jet-set sensibility. Each piece is handmade in Italy by skilled artisans, and the label has since expanded into a complete lifestyle offering — from knitwear and ready-to-wear to home textiles and accessories — while remaining true to its founding ethos of slow, intentional luxury.
Care Instructions

- Spot clean only using a soft, damp cloth — do not submerge in water
- Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or iron
- If fringe becomes tangled, gently separate strands by hand
