The Whitby Bonnet — Heritage Warmth, Soil-to-Skin Purity
$165.00
| /
Inspired by Whitby’s iconic seaside history and the storied cable stitches once knit for fishermen, the Whitby Bonnet revives heritage through pure, modern craft. Made from HERD’s own traceable Bluefaced Leicester wool, known as the “cashmere of British wool,” this bonnet is soft enough for bare skin while offering natural warmth and breathable comfort.
Crafted entirely within 150 miles of the Northern England farms where the sheep are raised, this bonnet embodies true soil-to-skin authenticity: wool sourced, spun, dyed, and knit locally using natural blends or botanical dyes.
Why the Whitby Bonnet is a Cold-Season Essential (from the designer):
No hat hair — its gentle structure keeps your style intact.
Wear it on your head or as a collar—tied around the neck, it warms the back beautifully all day.
Tie it multiple ways: in a bow, a soft knot, or leave the ties draped loosely.
It looks stunning—leave a few face-framing strands out for effortless beauty.
Available in four timeless colors: Ecru, Slate, Moss, and Plum.
Design Features:
Classic bonnet with soft ties
True-to-size fit
Plant-dyed or naturally blended shades
Naturally breathable and thermoregulating
