Over the years, as Truffaux has grown, something unexpected and oddly flattering has happened — we’ve been copied.
All across the internet, you’ll now find fake websites pretending to sell our hats — especially the beloved New Yorker. They steal our images, mimic our descriptions, and often undercut our prices in ways that seem too good to be true. That’s because they are.
Most of these sites are scams. They take your money, disappear, or send poor imitations that fall apart before the season ends. They don’t know how to shape a crown, they’ve never felt Montecristi straw, and they certainly don’t understand what it means to make a hat with soul.
💡 A Compliment in Disguise
Honestly, I take it as a compliment. If people are copying you, you must be doing something right. But still, I want you — the real people who wear real hats — to know exactly where you are.
You're in the right place.
This is the home of Truffaux. Every hat you see here is made with care, designed with integrity, and backed by years of love, obsession, and adventure.
We fit them by hand. We pack them ourselves. We speak to you like real humans. And we stand behind every crown and brim we send into the world.
