Softness That Stays: Our Take on the Perfect Hat

A hat may be a small part of a child’s wardrobe, but it plays a bigger role than we often realise.

It’s the first thing pulled on during chilly mornings, the piece that stays on during long walks, stroller naps, and winter adventures. It needs to be warm, comfortable, and gentle — not just for a moment, but throughout the day.

At Shirley Bredal, we believe the perfect hat, whether it’s a beanie, a bonnet, or a classic winter hat — is defined by one simple idea:
softness that lasts. 

The Difference Is in How It Feels

Children experience the world through touch. That’s why the feel of a hat matters just as much as how it looks.

Our beanies, bonnets, and hats are made with carefully selected materials that feel soft against delicate skin while still offering warmth and breathability. Nothing stiff. Nothing scratchy. Just a natural, comfortable feel that children quickly forget they’re even wearing.

We focus on:

• softness that remains even after repeated wear

• a fit that stays in place without pressure

• warmth without heaviness

• materials that allow skin to breathe

Every detail is considered — because comfort should never be compromised.

Thoughtful Pieces for Every Moment

Each style has its place.

Beanies for everyday warmth and easy layering.
Bonnets for those early years, offering softness, protection, and a secure fit.
Hats that complete an outfit while keeping little heads warm and comfortable.

They’re designed to move with children, to stay in place during play, and to feel just right — whether worn for a short walk or a full day outside.

A Timeless Essential

Trends come and go, but some things never lose their value. A well-made hat is one of them.

That’s why our designs are intentionally simple and timeless. Soft tones, clean lines, and a shape that works season after season. They pair effortlessly with coats, knits, and everyday outfits, becoming a natural part of a child’s wardrobe rather than a statement piece that quickly feels outdated.

It’s the kind of hat that gets worn often — and remembered.

Made for Real Life

Our hats are made for everyday moments:

• walks to kindergarten

• crisp mornings outdoors

• family trips and winter holidays

• slow afternoons wrapped in layers

They’re designed to move with children, to stay comfortable, and to hold their shape through real use — not just look good on a hanger.

Because childhood isn’t about perfection. It’s about warmth, freedom, and feeling at ease.

The Shirley Bredal Way

At Shirley Bredal, we focus on the feel of things: how something sits, how it wears, and how it becomes part of everyday life.

Our beanies, bonnets, and hats reflect that philosophy:
soft, thoughtful, and made to last.

Not just for one season — but for many moments to come.
