Barts Winter Hats - What's New from the Mad Hatter?



We love the new Barts Hats & Accessories Collection so much we have bought over 40 different styles! There are great new variations of the Trapper Hat in cord, a new Kamizu style, a new Inka hat with faux fur lining, as well as the Barts signature woollen Beanies and gorgeous deluxe faux fur Bombers. With lovely warm Kids Hats & Mittens Barts is a great brand for the whole family.

The Barts Company was launched by the enigmatic Dutch entrepreneur Bart Koene.  He began selling beach shorts he had run up on his sewing machine on the Beach at St. Tropez.  He lived in a caravan and drove an old Deux Chevaux.  In 1992 the Barts brand was launched which focused on handmade winter accessories.


We have met Bart several times and his entrepreneurial spirit is inspiring.  It is no surprise the Barts Winter Accessories Brand is now truly international.  Barts' mantra is " Do things right or don't do them at all." and that fun and freedom are equally as important as hard work. "Stick to what you believe in, even when its not easy."

The design team travel the world looking for new ideas and fabrics to add to the collection.  Almost as good as the days of a caravan on the beach in St. Tropez!
