Got five berets for seventy five dollars at the boutique across the street from me. Even had a red to match the brick red scarf. Label in most of them says Parkhurst. Maybe you could google it and see if you come up with anything. I've been wearing berets all my life; whenever I see a color I don't have that I like I get it. I find different colors every year. I also buy backups because I throw the old ones in my purse for sloppy weather.

Is that you, Monica? All joking aside, it is nice to have a signature look.

Berets were part of my school uniform in both grammar school and high school. Just such an easy hat to wear!

I have a collection of my favorite colors.

I only have a black beret. I wonder where Louis gets the berets the models wear. The berets always seem to match the outfits.

Not the look for me but I think he has stated he buys anywhere he can find them. You could probably find an assortment on-line.

Parkhurst is a Canadian company. They make fabulous hats in all different styles, and I've had many of them over the years, including berets. I've purchased mine at Lord & Taylor, and they're also very nice quality at reasonable prices.

They were really popular after Monica. I have a black one covered with black sequins that I got that year. I love hats; I have no idea how many I own.

Recently added this beret to my hat collection - it's angora - so soft & very warm. Darn cute too!

I have found cute hats at some of the teenage stores like forever 21 and some local Beauty supply stores. They are not as structured as the "berets" but they don't cost as much and you can have a large volume of hats. I have also gotten some unique ones at Etsy. Here are some pictures.
