Discover Folks and How We Do It
Explore the craftsmanship, creativity and passion behind every Folks Hat.

Folks is a Belgian brand for hats and caps born out of the passion, creativity and expertise of Steve Baert and Dorien Heyligen.
Folks represents hats and caps for everyone: twice a year we offer a carefully selected collection of headwear for every occasion: casual, formal, sporty, rock n’ roll… we have it all!
We therefore choose not to blindely follow every fashiontrend, but opt for a more timeless design with a twist.
Not only does Folks stand for the people who sell and wear our hats, but also for the people who produce them. Our products are all handmade in Italy with lots of care and passion for craftmanship.
Hats & caps
The Folks collection focuses on adults.
Every year we create two collections: spring / summer and autumn / fall. These collections offer fresh designs, but also contain some “classics”.
All Folks products are handmade in Italy in small workshops. The personal interaction with our craftsmen and women is very important to us.
The choice not to open our own webshop is very deliberate: from an ethical and ecological point of view.
Folks is therefore available for professionals only: our headwear is sold throughout the Benelux.

Italian Made Quality
At Folks, we believe in merging the best of two worlds: the timeless craftsmanship of Italian ateliers and the innovative spirit of Belgian creativity. Each piece of our headwear is meticulously handcrafted in small workshops across Italy, where tradition and skill come together to create exceptional quality.
Driven by Belgian passion, we infuse our designs with originality and a touch of modern flair, making each hat and cap a statement of elegance and individuality. Our close collaboration with Italian artisans ensures every detail reflects our shared commitment to authenticity, sustainability, and unparalleled craftsmanship.
Folks is more than just headwear; it’s a celebration of heritage, creativity, and the enduring art of handmade excellence.
