You cant go wrong with a beret in cooler months and the Ripple Effect version from Goodrum & Merryweather elevates this classic piece to something special. Made from wool and a little added stretch to help retain its shape, this beret delivers on warmth, practicality and style. Trimmed with a hand-sculpted velvet ruffle, it is sufficiently smart for Winter events (such as a festive concert) but also a great go to for running daily errands (be the best-dressed dog walker in the park). A true classic-with-a-twist.

The Ripple Effect is hand embellished and stitched in the Goodrum & Merryweather studio in Norwich. This soft and unstructured beret is free sized and should fit almost any head. Topped off with a characteristic little 'stalk' of 1.5cm (known as a 'cabillou' in French), the beret may be styled in multiple ways: tipped at a rakish angle; worn Sixties-style towards the back of the crown, or pulled down low over the ears on windy days. The beret can be made to order with your choice of colour and ribbon (please contact Goodrum & Merryweather directly to commission). With no need to worry about sizing, it also lends itself well to gift giving and is a good option for mailing through the post.
