Chunky knit beanie with a statement pom This Nirvaan Beanie from BARTS brings serious texture to your winter wardrobe. The chunky, untwisted yarn creates a lovely soft handle and gives the beanie real visual presence – this isn't the sort of hat that quietly fades into the background. The oversized pom on top adds a playful touch, while the 7cm turn-up provides a snug fit around your ears. Made from a blend of 55% recycled polyester with wool, acrylic and polyamide, it's got natural warmth from the wool content plus the eco-credentials of recycled materials. The soft fleeceband lining adds extra comfort where the hat meets your forehead. It’s worth knowing that the untwisted yarn means this beanie will gradually develop a bit of pilling over time, which you can remove by hand or with a de-piller.

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 it’s about quality, not quantity. This is clobber with conscience. BARTS don’t 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.
