About South Pacific Berets

South Pacific Berets is an online 

store dedicated to the Basque Beret

 

It all started mid 2008, when I was searching for information about the Basque Beret and found little available in English. Everything I found was in French or Spanish and even that was minimal.

I decided it was time to fill the gap and write a book in English on the Beret.

Along came a blog, 'The Beret Project'. It didn't take long to discover that I wasn't the only person fascinated by this humble, but age old piece of headgear.

I discovered that thousands of people from literally all over the world were interested in the beret and keen to find out more - including where to buy quality berets and, wanting to share my passion for this headgear, I looked for ways to let more people enjoy the pleasure of wearing a traditionally made quality beret. www.SouthPacificBerets.com is the result. 

South Pacific Berets started selling the berets by the famous (and only remaining) Spanish-Basque manufacturer Boinas Elósegui from Tolosa, followed by the enormous range of traditional Basque manufacturer Bonigor, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Later, the 'Castilla' range by Uruguyan Fabrica Nacional de Sombreros was added and the 'bérets nu' by the French Pierre Laulhere company.

And, from mid-2011, we stock berets with our own South Pacific Berets label; berets made exactly according to our specifications in colour, weight, size and density.

Practically all our berets come without a leather (or synthetic) headband - just the woolen or cotton rim, which is stretchable and ensures a snug and comfortable fit on practically anyone's head. No more sweaty imprints on your forehead, easy to roll up or fold to fit in your pocket and no guessing about sizes, which makes these berets excellent presents.

Now, early 2011, we are not only "The only specialized beret shop in the Pacific!", but the only one in the world with this selection of Basque berets!
