OUR STORY
KN Kati Niemi is a family business and our history with hats goes all the way until the 40’s. Grandfather Alpo used to work as a carpenter and make hat blocks for local milliners as a hobby. He became a very talented block maker and his reputation spread all over the country. Alpo’s son Jorma started selling the blocks made by his father around Finland to milliners and hat shops.
Jorma continued working with hats in his father’s footsteps and eventually decided to start his own company. He traveled to Italy in search of hatmakers and that is how the story of KN Kati Niemi officially started in 1981. The whole family has been working for the company through the years and in 2008 the daughter Kati took charge of leading the business.
