For babies up to 2, choose the double-layered merino and silk balaclava (6 to 24 months, CHF 39.90). From 1 to 9 years, choose a soft upcycled cashmere balaclava (CHF 49.90, bunny-ear style CHF 65). Both keep ears, cheeks and neck warm in one piece, without bulk.
With winter in full swing, finding the perfect winter accessories for your little one becomes a priority. A warm, comfortable hat is essential to protect against the biting wind and freezing temperatures. This season, cashmere and merino wool silk balaclavas and hats stand out as must-have accessories for children. Here’s why these natural fiber pieces are perfect for winter and why they should be part of your child’s wardrobe.
Natural fibers for optimal warmth and comfort
Our cashmere and merino wool silk hats and balaclavas are made from 100% natural fibers, offering unparalleled benefits for winter wear:
- Warmth without bulk: Both cashmere and merino wool with silk provide exceptional insulation while remaining lightweight and breathable.
- Temperature regulation: Natural fibers help regulate body temperature, keeping your child warm without overheating.
- Moisture-wicking: These fibers naturally wick away moisture, ensuring your child stays dry and comfortable all day.
- Gentle on sensitive skin: Ideal for sensitive skin, they are soft, itch-free, and gentle against delicate skin.
Playful balaclavas for little ones
Bunny-ear balaclavas sit alongside the classic style, in the same upcycled cashmere. Our adorable balaclavas with bunny ears combine warmth, comfort, and irresistible cuteness, adding a touch of fun to winter outfits and making chilly days a little more magical.
Designed to grow with your child
One of the key features of our cashmere balaclavas and merino wool and silk hats is their ability to grow with your child. Thanks to the natural elasticity of these fibers, our hats adapt to your child’s growth, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit for more than just one season. Here are the sizes by age:
| Style | Sizes | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Merino and silk balaclava, double-layered | 6 to 24 months | CHF 39.90 |
| Merino and silk hat | 6 to 18 months | CHF 39.90 |

Built to last more than one season
Durability is another standout feature of our collection. Our cashmere balaclavas and merino wool and silk hats are crafted to withstand the wear and tear of active children, making them a sustainable choice that can be passed down or reused for years to come. The high-quality materials ensure they maintain their shape, softness, and warmth even after frequent wear and washes.
The cashmere balaclavas are made from upcycled cashmere, so each colour comes in small numbers. When a size is gone, it is gone until the next batch.
