In the middle of the majestic Swiss Alps, we learned to defy the elements and seek adventure in nature. Our beanies and hats are not just warm companions, but an expression of a lifestyle that is deeply rooted in the mountains. They stand for quality, sustainability and a love of alpine nature.

Variety of materials inspired by the alpine lifestyle

Merino wool hats:

Merino wool is known for its exceptional softness and ability to regulate temperature. Our merino hats are ideal for those who spend time in the mountains in changing conditions. Merino keeps you warm without overheating, is breathable and is naturally more odor-resistant than other natural fibers. This sustainable fiber is the perfect choice for environmentally conscious adventurers who want to make the most of the alpine outdoors.

Alpaca wool beanies:

The lightness and insulating warmth of alpaca wool make our alpaca beanies the ideal choice for cold days in the mountains. These beanies not only offer protection from the elements, but also provide a sense of luxury and comfort that can be felt even in the harshest environments. Alpaca is hypoallergenic and great for sensitive skin. The fiber is also sustainable because alpacas require less land and water than other farm animals and do not destroy their pastures.

Wool from the Valais Blacknose sheep:

Our hat made from the wool of the Valais Blacknose sheep brings alpine tradition directly to you. This rare wool offers excellent insulation, is breathable and moisture-regulating - perfect for all weather conditions. Each beanie reflects our connection to the Alps and sustainable agriculture in the region. With this beanie you are not only wearing a piece of nature, but also a piece of our homeland.

Cashmere hats :

Offering unparalleled softness and warmth, our cashmere beanies are perfect for those who seek not only adventure but comfort as well. Cashmere is a natural fibre known for its long-lasting quality and luxurious softness. It is lightweight, durable and a sustainable choice as the fibres are extracted from the undercoat of the cashmere goat without harming the animal. Ideal for any adventure, whether on the ski slopes or a relaxed stroll through a snowy mountain village.

Acrylic :

Our acrylic beanies are characterized by their robustness and durability. They are ideal for those who are looking for an easy-care, dimensionally stable hat that will keep its shape even after many washes and intensive use. Acrylic offers high thermal performance and is a practical choice for those who need a versatile and durable hat that is reliable both in everyday life and during sporting activities.
