HEADWEAR & ACCESSORIES

Community is the soul of skiing and the heart behind our
brand. Skida got its start during a rainy holiday seven winters
ago when I picked up some fun fabric and began making hats
for my teammates and friends at Burke Mountain Academy.
Soon the demand for colorful hats grew, along with the variety
of prints. As the buzz snowballed beyond the New England ski
racing community, new products joined the line to keep everyone
warm and colorful. It took a lot of bootstrapping from the
start, but deliberate growth of the business through thoughtful
product design, careful print selection, and local production
has been our mission. So, when I discovered cashmere while
living in Nepal, I began my pursuit of the softest hats right at
the source. Our story doesn’t stop here: we’re Vermonters who
have an appreciation for our home and a notion for adventure.

An inkling to offer hats made of cashmere and to support a local industry that I came to know inspired me to book a ticket back to Nepal. In late August, I went straight to the source and revisited the best quality cashmere knitting and weaving facilities that I had interviewed three years ago. I traveled light with just my designs, a map of Kathmandu, and an old Minolta 35mm film camera to capture the authentic beauty and craftsmanship of the factories and its artisans who make these beautiful pieces. Enjoy!
IT ALL STARTED IN NEPAL Three years ago, I spent four months partaking in a research study program based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Fascinated by Nepal’s local cashmere industry, I spent my time studying its rise, fall, and slow revival. After weeks of interviews, factory visits, and product research, I discovered that Nepali Cashmere is a product of a complex and interconnected local industry with a long history of luxury and craft.
