Discover our collection of berets and caps for children, designed for both little ones and older kids. Both stylish and functional, our models provide effective protection from the cold and the sun, while adding a touch of everyday elegance.
From the Petit Basque beret in French merino wool — a faithful nod to the traditional Basque beret — to the Margaux ear-covering beret, and the Gigi visor cap, each accessory is designed to offer comfort, support, and freedom of movement. Thanks to their one-size-fits-all design, our children’s berets easily adapt to the shape of their head and accompany them as they grow.
Available in a wide palette of colors — classic black, red, green, ecru, grey, burgundy, and more — our models allow every child to express their own style.
All our berets and caps for children and teenagers are entirely made in France, in our workshops in Oloron-Sainte-Marie, using the same excellence in craftsmanship that preserves the artisanal tradition of the authentic French beret.

Frequently asked questions
Which children’s berets are available?
The shape is that of the
Basque beret:
a flat crown, supple edge and a single piece of felted wool.
It is the simplest possible design, which is precisely what makes
it so easy to wear at this age. There is nothing to adjust and
nothing to break.
What changes from one design to another is the colour. Black or
navy goes with everything and works well for school, while red or
ecru stands out more and is generally chosen by the child. This
remains the best way to ensure they keep it on their head.
The designs are identical for girls and boys: the same shapes,
sizes and colours. There is no separate section to choose from.
Does wool feel itchy to children?
This is parents’ main concern, and it comes from confusing
different types of wool.
French merino wool fibres are much finer than those of coarser
traditional wools. As a result, the material feels soft against
the skin and is rarely irritating, even for sensitive skin.
Our dyes are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified and tested for
harmful substances.
From what age can a child wear a beret?
Our designs are suitable from the age of three. Before then,
the head changes too quickly for a fitted accessory to be
practical, and a closed beanie remains more suitable.
From the age of three, however, the beret becomes one of the
easiest accessories to wear. Nothing feels tight, dangles or
catches. Children can put it on and take it off by themselves,
which matters more than it may seem. An accessory they cannot
remove on their own will eventually stop being worn.
Which size should you choose for a children’s beret?
Our children’s berets come in an adjustable one-size fit designed
for ages three to eight. The felt is supple and adapts to the head
circumference without ever feeling tight.
If the beret becomes slightly too small, there is no need to buy
another one. Our
size guide
explains how to stretch it gently by hand to increase the
circumference. A beret purchased at the age of four can therefore
still be worn at seven or eight.
Beyond this age, explore our
adult berets,
as the smallest sizes are often suitable for pre-teens.
Does a beret stay on a child’s head?
Yes, and better than you might expect.
The beret follows the shape of the head and stays in place under
its own weight, without elastic or pressure. It will not move
while a child is running, provided it is positioned correctly,
neither too far forwards nor too far back.
If it falls, there is no need to worry. A beret does not crush
easily: it can be rolled up, sat on or forgotten at the bottom of
a bag, and it will return to its shape. It is an accessory designed
to stand up to children.
In everyday life, this makes it a practical choice for the journey
to school, the playground or a day out. It protects against the
cold without causing overheating, slips easily into a school bag
and takes up almost no space.
Wool felt should be cared for when dry and never placed in a
washing machine, even after a fall in the mud.
How should a child wear a beret?
However they like. That is the whole point.
Worn straight, it looks neat. Tilted to one side, it feels
mischievous. Pushed towards the back, it takes on an artistic air.
The cabillou, the small stem at the top, acts as a reference point
for recreating the same angle and quickly becomes the detail
children love to fiddle with.
There is only one piece of advice that matters: let children
position it themselves. A beret they have put on without help
stays on their head, while one that has been pulled down for them
usually ends up in the school bag.
How long does a children’s beret last?
Longer than most children’s clothing, which helps put the price
into perspective. While a coat may be outgrown within a season,
an adjustable beret can cover four or five years before being
passed on to the next child without having changed.
When properly cared for and air-dried, wool felt does not lose
its shape, pill or fade. A beret stored away in spring comes back
out unchanged in autumn. Considered over years of wear, a piece
made in Oloron-Sainte-Marie can cost less than replacing an
accessory every winter.
