Italian Hat Company Aims to Change Image of Mafia Symbol
(ContentDesk) October 28, 2005 -- La Coppola Storta is returning the coppola hat to its original roots as a luxury item. Their hats made in Sicily combine fine Italian fabrics, unique patterns and hand made Italian craftsmanship to create the ultimate offerings in headwear. Their collections feature limited runs per style and many one of kind pieces, each with its own distinct style. The line features something for everyone with hats for men, women, children and dogs. The pinnacle of the collection is their hand painted pieces by Italian artists.The Sicilian hat has long been a symbol of the mafia, a stereotype that has been perpetuated in Hollywood by movies like the Godfather.
Coppola Storta translates to tilted hat, it is a reference to the way the Cosa Nostra wore theirs, exposing their eyes. Fifty years ago almost all Sicilians wore a coppola, but it was the way the mafia members tilted theirs that distinguished them. Eventually coppola storta became slang for mafia members.Although, La Coppola Storta features many of the traditional tweed and cotton coppolas, it also has many fashion styles made of linen, silk, smooth velvet, lurex, satin, viscose and embroidered sequins. All coppolas are made by hand in the renown San Giuseppe factory in Sicily. The factory has been recognized for its efforts in employing homeless women and training them in their great Sicilian artisan tradition.
The factory has also incorporated foreign designers to help give a fresh interpretation of the traditional coppola.About La Coppola Storta:La Coppola Storta is a premium handmade Italian hat collection made in Sicily. Their hats are distributed through their flagship stores and better boutiques throughout the world. Their flagship stores are located in Rome, Palermo, Taormina and New York.For press inquiries contact:John RiveraMind Games917-312-6852e-mail protected from spam bots.
