A Beret for Spring is a beret that plays with texture and volume. It is a stylish hat that can accommodate those that have trouble putting on beanies due to curly and/or voluminous hair. I personally have that issue, where most beanies won’t stay on my head, unless they can also cover most of my hair. Comfy berets seem to solve that issue.

In this one, wool, alpaca, silk and mohair come together in a super soft combination to provide texture definition, a dreamy halo and warmth.
