Skida
We believe in local production, limited edition products, and a fresh perspective.
Since we began making hats in 2008, our signature line of colorful hats, headbands, and neckwear in Alpine and Nordic styles has been sewn right here in Vermont.
We work with a collaborative of sewists who sew our products in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, a rural area with a rich history in garment manufacturing.
Supporting this cottage industry inspires a unique connection to the area and is just one element of Skida's contribution to the community.
Throughout our supply chain, we're committed to minimizing waste and choosing local production to create our functional and joy-provoking products. Manufacturing our product line domestically – with the exception of our Cashmere – is a tangible way to reduce the impact of shipping materials and gives us the opportunity to maintain close relationships with our partners.
In the winter of 2008, Corinne Prevot picked up some patterned stretch fabrics at the May Store in Lyndonville, Vermont and made hats for her cross-country ski teammates and friends at Burke Mountain Academy. Soon the demand for her colorful hats grew, as did the variety of prints. As the buzz snowballed beyond the New England ski community, new products joined the line to keep everyone warm and colorful.
Fourteen years later, the brand is still committed to local production, limited edition products, and a fresh perspective.
Skida’s mission is to bring people together, encourage play, generate smiles, and make a better place. As a company, we stand by our diversity pledge to hold us accountable to be more inclusive and actively anti-racist in our local and national community.

We love our home state, which is why our core product line is made in Vermont. Read more about Our Approach.
