History //

Founded in 2007 Esperando started with the vision to launch headwear inspired by friends and upcoming designers. Drawing from its roots in design & art scene, Esperando launched a small nice caps series together with artists from around the world. Later Esperando expanded its series to organic manufacturing of knit hats and classy hats. Through massive local support Esperando was growing locally to what it is today: a free experiment of subcultural elegance. Act locally and think globally.
