Cappelli Straworld, Inc. is renowned for its quality and exceptional attention to detail. Specializing in women’s handbags and hats designed with the resort lifestyle in mind, the brand perfectly captures the essence of laid-back elegance and coastal charm.

As the waves lapped against the shores of Miami Beach, a little girl picked up a handful of seashells from the sand. She strung them together on a simple string, crafting a necklace that caught the eye of a passing tourist. When the necklace sold, an idea was born—Cappelli Straworld, Inc.

It was the Great Depression, and the young girl’s ingenuity inspired her grandmother to expand on this modest success. Soon, the family business grew as they began selling unique items to Miami’s bustling tourist crowd. Her grandmother ventured to Cuba, Mexico, and Guatemala, bringing back vibrant maracas, handcrafted alligator handbags, embroidered clothing, and other exotic accessories.

By the 1950s, the business was thriving. Cappelli Straworld, Inc. expanded its reach, importing fine goods from the Orient and Europe while establishing a straw hat factory in Miami to meet the growing demand.

Today, the legacy of Cappelli Straworld, Inc. lives on. With a talented design team, a commitment to exceptional customer service, and the strong support of Dorfman Milano, we continue to celebrate creativity, craftsmanship, and enduring style. We invite you to be part of this remarkable journey that started with a little girl, a few seashells, and a dream.
