South Pacific Berets is very happy (and proud) to now be stockist of the beautiful caps and berets by Le Laboureur!
In the early 1950s , Primo Zelanti, began selling
traditional work clothing at agricultural fairs and markets in Charolles in
Southern Burgundy (France). His small business grew rapidly and in 1956 Zelanti
created his own Le Laboureur brand ('The Ploughman').
Inspiration came from the
oldest forms of hard wearing work clothing with locally made materials and
high-quality fabrics. Gradually, the range extended from just agricultural wear
to work-wear for the building trades.
The brand's original ethos was to provide
local craftsmen with everyday durable and dependable clothing, and this mission
is still followed today. A family business, the company is run by Primo's son,
Jean Charles.
South Pacific Berets stocks the traditional burel cap (made
from the un-dyed, natural wool of the rare Ouessant sheep), fully fitted with
matching satin lining and the 10p/28cm sized berets in black felted merino wool
(made in cooperation with Laulhère), both fitted with what must be the most
beautiful beret label ever.
