Shop History

The Chapelaria Centro da Moda was founded in 1897 by José Carvalho da Silva at Rua de Santa Catarina n.ºs 243 e 245. The business was passed to the firm Borges & Baião Lda. in 1942, being linked, since then, to the family of the current owner Mr. José Baião, who succeeded his grandfather and father. It is known for the quality of the manual and handmade work of making custom felt hats in noble materials: wool, rabbit fur and beaver.
In 1908, Chapelaria Centro da Moda received the silver medal in the Exhibition held in the International Fair of Rio de Janeiro. Besides its own production, the establishment also commercialises national and international products. With a reputation of quality, Chapelaria Centro da Moda is sought by national and international clients, having been pioneer in introducing internationally renowned brands in the national market, and in exporting products to Europe.
