La Claudette recycled fur winter cap

Recycled mink winter cap

A winter cap with character, a history, and over 25 hours of work behind it.

I craft each cap from small pieces of mink that I sew one by one. Their assembly creates a unique patchwork: a true wearable work of art, made to turn heads and accompany you through many winters.

Its small brim gives it its cap-like look. The earflaps can be worn up or down, depending on the temperature and the level of comfort desired, and are secured with magnetic snap buttons. The pom-pom is also removable: take it off for a sportier style, or put it back on when you want a more whimsical touch.

Inside, a lightly quilted nylon lining allows the head to breathe. The cap is lightweight and comfortable to wear. Its adjustable elastic cord allows you to adapt it comfortably to your head.

This is the kind of piece you keep for a long time and wear with pride. And if someone stops you on the street to ask where you found it… you can tell them its story.

Note on the fur: The mink used comes from upcycled vintage coats or new scraps left over from coat manufacturing. Each cap thus gives new life to a beautiful material.
