OUR STORY
The bunnet - Scots word for cap - has always belonged to the people. For centuries, it has been woven into the fabric of Scottish life, worn by Highland and Lowland farmers, shipyard workers, and labourers, shaped by the land, the weather, and hard graft. The bunnet has always been practical, purposeful, and quietly iconic.
Bunnet was born in much the same spirit: from the adventures of a mother, father, and son walking the Scottish hills and beyond, in all weathers. As lifelong cap wearers, we set out to create something that honoured Scotland’s heritage while being designed for the way people live today. Built for movement - whether running, walking, golfing, at the gym, in the city, or out on the hills - every Bunnet is made to be worn, not kept.
A bunnet worn over time carries its own story. Passed from one generation to the next, it holds the memories of the people and places that shaped it.
In 2026, on the slopes of Criffel in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, Bunnet was reborn. Not to replace what came before, but to stand alongside it. The traditional bunnet remains. Ours simply continues the story.
We are still at the beginning of our story, and we know there will always be more to learn. Our approach is simple. Choose materials carefully. Understand where they come from. Work with people who share our values. Make Bunnets that perform well, wear well and stay in use for as long as possible. The best Bunnets are the ones that are worn.
OUR BUNNETS
The Bunnet belongs to everyday life. Worn to work, worn outdoors, worn through weather. It becomes personal through use, shaped by the person who wears it and the life they live. Often passed down, with stories attached.
So rather than recreate the past, we looked at what a Bunnet could be today. A baseball cap for the run. A trucker for warmer days. A cord camper for the everyday. A lambswool beanie when the weather turns.
Different forms for different lives, but all made with the same thought: to create a Bunnet for modern day.
As an independent Scottish brand, the materials we choose matter to us. We want to make considered choices, using recycled, organic and natural fibres wherever we can, without losing sight of performance, quality or how something feels to wear.
BASEBALL CAPS and TRUCKER CAPS
For our Baseball and Trucker Caps, we wanted a fabric that could keep up.
REPREVE® is a performance fibre made using recycled plastic bottles. Lightweight, durable and suited to an active life, it gives existing materials another purpose rather than relying solely on new resources.
It made sense for our first Bunnets. Caps designed to be thrown on for a run, a walk, a round of golf or a day outdoors, then worn again tomorrow.
CAMPER CAPS and BEANIES
Our Camper Caps called for something different.
We chose 100% organic cotton corduroy for its natural feel, texture and character. Soft but hard wearing, cord is a fabric that gets better with wear. The more it is lived in, the more personal it becomes.
A slower, more tactile Bunnet for everyday life.
BEANIES
For our Beanies, we came home to Scotland.
Made from pure, fully traceable lambswool and knitted at a heritage mill in Ayrshire, they draw on generations of Scottish textile craftsmanship.
We chose lambswool for its natural warmth, softness and enduring quality. A fibre made for colder days and a landscape where the weather has always shaped what we wear.
A modern take on a Scottish classic.
Wherever life takes you, may your Bunnet gather its own stories, shaped by the people, the places, and the moments that matter most.
