What do you think of this unique “babushka” style hat by Tokyo designer Valeur? Again, I am super excited about discovering transformer styles that offer multiple uses for one piece. This ultra soft handmade lacy knit triangular piece wraps beautifully around the head or can be worn around the neck as a short knit stole. The “babushka” style is very unique and offers a new idea about modern cold weather hats.

Valeur is a designer from Tokyo who creates soft and beautiful handmade hats with unique designs that incorporate ideas of warmth, personal style, and value. For Fall Valeur has lots of wrapping hats that have the look of a knit headband or scarf but that offer the warmth of a hat.

This cute wool knit turban is another unique style that I interpret as a combination of a wide headband and a knit hat that creates a fashionable look for Fall. The best part is that it is reversible and features a heather gray jersey with blue polka dots fabric on the other side, but I couldn’t find an image of it anywhere!
La Garconne is one of the only online retailers where I was able to find Valeur hats, and they only have a small selection. You can visit Valeur’s website to find locations around the world where their hats are available.
