Catbird Beanie

Stand out in space dye

Whether assessing the surf or walking around a ski resort, ideally, you dont want to bump into someone wearing the same beanie as you. Enter the unique Catbird acrylic knit hat. With its chunky knit and fleece-lined headband, BARTSs new design certainly delivers plenty of warmth and comfort. But its space dye look is also completely one-of-a-kind. That means no two beanies are identical and you can prep to stand out this winter.

• Isn’t it funny how many outdoor brands seem to have started out with one man and a sewing machine? In 1986, the man was Bart Koene and the place was sun-soaked St Tropez. Bart originally knocked up handmade swimming shorts to sell on the beach, but one day a stylish friend was helping him flog his wares when a passing tourist tried to buy her bandana. Bart knew an opportunity when he saw one, and quickly branched out into headwear and other accessories.

  Now based in Amsterdam, BARTS has come a long way since 86. In fact, the brand offers more than 2,500 products including hats, beachwear and bags. But its about quality, not quantity. This is clobber with conscience. BARTS dont use angora, fur or mohair, and each year they increase their use of recycled and sustainable yarns. The brand insists on a strict code of conduct for its partner factories, and its head office and warehouse in Houthavens is purpose-built to minimise carbon emissions. BARTS employees even get free weekly yoga classes.
