It Item
The Miu Miu Bonnet
I bought this Miu Miu bonnet/cap/balaclava in grey and I’m on the lookout for tan. I like this one because it’s trim to the head, can be worn under the hood of my parka, and it doesn’t look infantile. While searching for it, up popped a Miu Miu crocheted vest I’d whiffed on years ago — woo hoo!

I love anything balaclava-esque – so chic and practical. It’s a yes from me!
Audrey Hepburn wore something similar to this at a ski resort in an old movie. She looked fabulous – no surprise there! On anyone else, 1950’s swimming cap comes to mind. Sorry ~ I’m just not seeing it.
Please send us a photo this winter and prove us all wrong. 🙂
So so cool. I still wear my old one from Barneys I bought back in 2008. It also looks great as a hood when not on your head with a good coat. I want the tan one so if you find it, let me know.
Intriguing… a hat lover. Going to try this style.
I love the look. I worry the wool would itch under my neck. Please let us know how it feels.
Sorry…$500 for this is something I can’t see. If a wool layer is required under a hood, I’m sure there are many more attractive alternatives at a fraction of the price. ;-}
Sorry, but just so silly.
I definitely have appreciation for the artistic (and artsy) quality of the bonnet and, especially, since it does take us into another era. Coming from Europe, I experience almost nostalgic feelings about elegant pieces of this nature. However, wearing a bonnet (no matter the quality of execution) in modern times would be a challenge and my suspicion is that it would age anybody above the early 20s. Irina
Silly looking…not for grown ups unless you look like Audrey Hepburn.
Love it! Classic, modern, and minimalistic.
On point, Preston. I am seeing them everywhere but this one is lovely and feminine. I have been putting my little boy in them since he was born and I have wanted my own ever since.
Immediately makes me think of Audrey Hepburn in the opening of Charade. And my sister and I wore them as children in the early through the mid 60’s.
