Brand History Athena New York was launched as a hat brand in New York in the spring/summer of 1996.
The brand has been sold at hat specialty stores and select stores in New York.
Athena New York mainly produces custom-ordered hats and has gained a good reputation.
He has been popular at Special Stores with clients such as Soho and Upper East Side.
He made hats for a variety of occasions, including vacation hats and fall/winter cocktail hats.
After returning to Japan in the spring of 2004, he has been presenting new products every season at Barneys New York and other major department stores.
His representative works, such as Risako and Kimberly, have been well received.
More than 20 years have passed since the brand was born, and Athena New York continues to cherish the unique world view that started in its small atelier and evolves with each season.
★Origin of the brand name Athena New York was inspired by Athena, the Greek goddess of arts, crafts, and wisdom.
The brand name was chosen because the brand was started in New York, and the name "New York" was chosen because the brand was started in New York.
★Origin of the hat's naming I wanted to add personality to the hats instead of just writing the product name as a product number, so I gave each hat a name that matched its image from the start of the brand. This naming was well received by fans as it suited the hats perfectly.
Every season, we are often asked to name the hats by name.
The most famous name, Risako, was inspired by a customer in New York who asked him to name a hat after her soon-to-be-born baby girl.
The real Risako is a college student (as of 2020) and is still friends with that client.
