Kubanka hat

Women's hats are designed not only to protect the fair sex from snow and wind, but also to decorate the winter look. Kubanka is one of the brightest and most elegant hats, created to satisfy women's whims.

Kubanka owes its appearance in the women's wardrobe to the men's hat. It is from her that the history of the headdress beloved by all counts. Initially, Caucasian men chose a high warm hat made of sheep's wool. But in a massive headdress it was inconvenient to ride on horseback, so the height of the cap was reduced, leaving the original shape. The headdress fell in love with the inhabitants of the Kuban for warmth and appearance.

For winter, a fur kubanka is chosen by self-confident women, complementing it with precious accessories. Fur for its production can be used differently. Its choice also determines the final appearance of the product.

Kubanka is sewn from fur:

• Silver fox. Such a hat will differ in volume due to fluffy fur. Silver fox fur is beautiful, thanks to which products made from it have an interesting color and unusual appearance.
• Fox.Such fur emphasizes the cylindrical shape of the cap. The noble shine of fox fur gives the cap an expensive, solid appearance. Such material involves a wide selection of colors in natural tones.
