Baretta misgia Capicorsu

A traditional Corsican hat which disappeared at the end of the 19th century. This cap had three sizes, depending on the region of the island where it was worn: the Capicorsu, the Rocca, the Niulinca. Thus the measurements from the peak to the bottom vary from 20 to 40 cm. The Capicorsu is the shortest one. The colours were sober: red, brown and brown-black.

"Création BoBa" was inspired by the traditional baretta misgia to create a fashionable clothing accessory for men, women and children. Its cotton inner lining, edged with a bias, gives it a perfect finish and a very aesthetic look.

In the past, the bottom of the baretta misgia was used as a "pocket" for small objects (coins, keys). As a reminder of this tradition, the BoBa comes with a metal coin in the rim of the lining.

Made to measure in sizes 51 to 64.
