French-American designer Nick Fouquet founded his company after several years exploring the world.

After graduating college with a BA in Environmental Science and Sustainable Development, he moved to Patagonia and then Australia. He eventually settled down in Venice, California where he enrolled in pattern making and design classes at Otis College of Art and Design.
While taking those classes, Fouquet became interested in hat making after traveling to old hat shops and purchasing vintage equipment from these stores. The equipment is used today to make hats in his atelier in California.

He draws inspiration from his travels and ability to easily identify with colors, design, and natural aesthetics. NICK FOUQUET hats are made from 100 percent beaver fur felt which is sustainably harvested.

Nick Fouquet has been a CFDA Member since 2016.
