PREMIUM CUSTOM HATS
LAAS is a distilled, modern take on an old-world name, orgininating from the Greek Nikolaos —meaning "victory of the people"—and carried through the Dutch spelling, Nicolaas. From this spark, LAAS emerges as something unique, creating a new vision while honoring its cultural roots and giving it a fresh identity. Through this, LAAS bridges heritage innovation—a nod to Nicolaas while standing with its own distinct presense.

Each hat is uniquely made, starting with premium and ethically sourced felt, structured, and finished by hand. All accessories are curated from around the globe or in partnership with local craftsmen.
Every journey deserves a story. I wanted to create something people could wear as their own that expresses their personal journeys. Designing hats for me is like traveling. It's a risk, it's for the curious and the courageous. Traveling opens your mind to different cultures, colors, smells and tastes. To me, a hat isn’t just an accessory—it’s a reflection of your spirit, your explorations, your unique style and an extension of your identity.
