You choose a beanie as you would a coat: for its shape, colour and material. Not simply to keep warm. Ours are knitted from merino wool or cashmere in our workshops at the foot of the Pyrenees. Unisex and available in one size, they form a single collection of men’s beanies and women’s beanies, ranging from the most streamlined design to the most enveloping. Merino wool, cashmere and a Laulhère rivet. Nothing else: no synthetic blends and no added lining. The knit is produced on site and worked until it reaches a density that holds its shape without feeling tight.

What types of beanies can you find in the collection?
Four designs, offering four ways to wear French knitwear.
Boret, the classic merino wool beanie. An everyday
design available in around twenty colours, from black to botanical green.
Mendia, the reversible merino wool beanie:
two colours and two beanies in one.
Urbasa, a lightweight merino wool knit with a
distinctive silhouette, which can be worn as a beanie or styled
like a beret.
Habia, the felted cashmere beanie. The densest
and most enveloping design in the collection, available in black,
beige, grey or navy blue.
Every piece is made in France and available in one size.
Merino wool or cashmere beanie: which should you choose?
Merino wool is our signature material. Its fibres
are much finer than those of conventional wool, making it soft
against the forehead without itching. It is also thermoregulating:
it absorbs moisture before you feel it, helping to prevent your head
from feeling clammy indoors. This is why you can continue wearing
a wool beanie after stepping inside, whereas acrylic knitwear
insulates without regulating temperature or moisture.
Cashmere goes even further in terms of softness
and lightness. At the same level of warmth, the material is finer,
more fluid and more enveloping. Our cashmere design is knitted and
then felted, using a process mastered by very few workshops. Felting
makes the knit denser and gives it a structure that knitting alone
cannot achieve. The result is a substantial, almost sculptural
material that retains its shape instead of stretching.
Both merino wool and cashmere are worked in our workshops, and both
produce a warm beanie. The difference lies in the feel and fineness
of the material, not its performance: a well-made merino wool beanie
is just as warm as a cashmere one.
What is a reversible beanie?
It is a beanie knitted in two colours, with both sides fully finished
and designed to be worn. Turn it inside out according to your outfit
or mood, and you have two beanies in one.
Technically, this is far from simple: there is no reverse side,
so no seam or thread can be left visible. Even our rivet is reversible,
lacquered and laser-engraved on both sides.
This is the design chosen by those who cannot decide between two
colours—and the easiest one to give as a gift: two options are
better than one guess.
Which beanie styles are in fashion?
Three silhouettes return every winter. The docker-style beanie,
worn short and folded above the ears, remains the most popular.
The long beanie, which falls towards the back, creates a more
streetwear-inspired look. Between the two, hybrid shapes halfway
between a beanie and a beret are becoming increasingly popular.
On the same design, adjusting the cuff is enough to move from one
style to another. Folded once, it structures and shortens the line
to create the docker look. Unfolded, it adds volume at the back
for a more relaxed appearance. The Urbasa embraces the hybrid style:
the signature of a milliner, created by a Maison that has been
making berets since 1840.
Pom-pom beanies, sailor beanies and oversized designs all have
their followers. Our beanies focus on clean lines, allowing the
colour and material to define the style, whether classic or more
contemporary.
How do you choose the right beanie?
Three criteria, in this order: the material, the structure and the size.
The material determines the level of warmth and softness. The structure
depends on the density of the knit: when closely knitted, it returns
to its original shape after every wear; when loose, it eventually
stretches. Our beanies come in one size and are made from a supple
knit, allowing them to adapt to every head circumference without
feeling tight. If in doubt, our
size guide
provides the necessary guidance.
How you wear it will also depend on your beard, glasses or hairstyle.
Our men’s and women’s selections include advice tailored to each.
Can you coordinate a beanie, snood and mittens?
Yes—and they were designed with this in mind. Several of our designs
share the same colours across different product families: a beanie,
a
snood
and a pair of mittens for
women
or
men
can be coordinated in exactly the same shades and knit.
This is the combination most often given during the festive season,
and the easiest to put together yourself. Each piece can, of course,
also be worn on its own, just like our wool scarves. A beanie is not
chosen simply to keep warm: it is often the only accessory visible
throughout the winter.
