At the beginning of the 20th century, balloon caps became popular in Europe and North America, originally among mostly young men of the working class. Soon, however, women also discovered the practical and shapely headgear. Thanks to their voluminous shape, even long hair can disappear underneath if the wearer so desires. Equally, however, any amount of hair - from a curl to a braid - can peek out underneath. Due to an elastic band in the back edge, the cap always fits perfectly. In addition, the balloon cap can also be pulled deep into the face to protect the forehead from the sun or wind. Diefenthal manufactures this balloon cap quite classically with eight segments and button.

Pia Diefenthal, a hatter in the fourth generation, combines her expertise and passion with the long-standing family tradition. The result is well-thought-out hats and caps, including headwear classics – some of them made from surprising materials. Eventually, Diefenthal finds inspiration in the metropolises of the world.
