Etchea
The Etchea label has got a new lease on life after it was abandoned after many decades of good use at the end of the 20th century.
A label that beautifully captures the spirit of un-pretentiousness that was so typical of French berets and beret-wearers during the last century: an old peasant wearing a beret and clogs trudging along his faithful mule, the 'etchea' (Basque farmhouse) pictured on the background.
Great berets for workers, farmers and city-folk for every day of the year.
Reinstated exclusively for South Pacific Berets - available in 28 and 30cm diameter, Black and Navy @ $42.50 only.
Daan Kolthoff is a writer, living between the hills of Wellington, New Zealand and, when not writing, meditating or walking the hills, he is usually researching, reading about or ordering berets from around the world.
