PROCESS
Knitting
Wool thread obtained from the finest Merino sheep enters the very first stage of
the process, which is knitting. Carefully calibrated stitches guarantee beret’s
traditional round shape.
Darning
This step consists of merging the knit into a circular beret body.
Felting
During this phase, the beret is placed in the machine with hammers and warm
soapy water. This mixing process creates a felt, making the beret soft and
tightening the seam. Thanks to the unique properties of merino wool, the beret
becomes denser, while its diameter becomes smaller, retaining its breathable
property.
Dyeing
The deep, radiant tones that our company has celebrated are achieved by mixing
colors according to a strictly confidential formula. In addition to the color
composition, the result depends on various variables that must be fine-tuned,
such as thread and water quality, temperature and dyeing duration. The science
of dyeing our berets has been perfected by decades of experience.
Shaping & Drying
After coming out of the dyeing machine, the beret is pulled onto the mold. The
molds are then placed on carts that go in the dryer. When they dry, they are
removed from the mold that gives the final diameter to the berets.
Finishing
The berets are brushed and then shaved giving it a fluffy and unusually soft
property. This is followed by sewing the lining, mostly made of satin, leather
headband, a woven label that gives the beret an identity … and then, finally, there
are all the little details we add to our berets giving them a character that our
customers will recognize.
