# Le Bonnet Le Bonnet began in Amsterdam in 2015 when Matthieu Jansen ordered the first samples from the Scottish mill behind his favourite beanie. Vasco de Vries joined him soon afterwards, and together they built the brand. The collection is designed in Amsterdam. Most knitwear is made in Scotland from natural fibres; cotton caps are made in Portugal. Core products include wool beanies, scarves, bandanas, knitwear, gloves, socks, and gift cards.
