A conversation with Alicesofia Navarin on how she turned a quarantine hobby into a colorful force called Rat Hat

What can emerge from a period of confinement? One answer is Rat Hat—a crochet brand handcrafting vibrant creations. Alicesofia Navarin began it during lockdown when she craved new creative stimuli, and soon a hobby turned into a slow fashion production that encompasses her whole family. In this episode, host Shahida Bari talks to Alicesofia to discuss her home-grown fashion startup, which has created a limited-edition capsule collection of hats exclusively for Vault.

Vault is the experimental online store expanding the narrative of the House. Through a careful curation of rare vintage Gucci finds alongside exclusive capsule collections from noteworthy brands, it becomes a meeting place where an impossible conversation becomes an inevitable one. To reveal a few facets of this ongoing dialogue on Vault, the Gucci Podcast sits down with the contemporary creators featured on the virtual shelves of the concept space.
