About Anna

Anna Xaniotaki is a millinery designer, nestled in Athena, Greece.

Her ambition is to highlight women's femininity and elegance by offering the modern woman hats and headpieces inspired by the interwar period — the glamour and artistic freedom of the 1920s and 1930s — and by the quiet grace of the decades that followed — the 1940s through the 1970s. Anna believes that despite the practicality the era demanded, the feminine elegance of the 1940s maintained a sense of refined grace and dignity, highlighting the strength and resilience of women.

It is this legacy of refined practicality that she honours with every creation.

A story still unfolding

THE ART OF THE HAT: A RETURN TO FEMININE GRACE

In a world of casual conformity and fading elegance, the hat stands as a quiet rebellion—a return to timeless femininity, intentional beauty, and the art of dressing with grace.

Each hat we create is a statement against the uniformity of athleisure culture, the disposability of fast fashion, and the erasure of feminine mystique. It is a choice to embrace sophistication, elegance, and individuality.

Our hats celebrate the modern woman who refuses to blend in, who understands that true style is intentional, that femininity is powerful, and that grace is a form of rebellion.

This is not nostalgia. This is a modern movement—a reclaiming of beauty, refinement, and unapologetic femininity.

Wear a hat. Make a statement. Reclaim your grace.
