Beret by Ruslan Baginskiy

Beret / Sailor Hat,

The designer beret by Ruslan Baginskiy reinterprets one of the most recognizable silhouettes in fashion through structure, material, and proportion. Positioned within contemporary luxury accessories, the beret moves beyond its historical associations and becomes a refined design object with a modern identity.

Developed by a Ukrainian designer and ANDAM Award 2023 recipient, the collection reflects a precise approach to craftsmanship and contemporary design. Each beret hat combines sculptural construction with wearable functionality, allowing the silhouette to adapt across different wardrobes and styling contexts.

The Silhouette

The beret silhouette is defined by a close-fitting shape, a soft rounded crown, and a structure that holds its form without stiffness. Each model maintains clean proportions that make it easy to style, distinguishing it from less considered alternatives. The designer beret hat sits precisely, adapting to different head shapes while retaining its characteristic round form.

In the collection, the beret is treated as a design object, where each curve and proportion is deliberately resolved.

Materials & Craft

The collection is built around premium materials, each selected for how it responds to the beret's signature silhouette. Cotton models offer a clean, structured base, while denim interpretations bring a defined texture and everyday depth. The wool-blend styles introduce a denser, more refined feel where the material itself reinforces the shape.

The crystal-embellished beret holds a particular place in the collection. Each crystal is applied by hand, ensuring durability and a level of detail that defines it as a statement piece within any look.

Finishing details across the collection include:

  • Hand-embroidered RB monogram
  • Hand-applied crystal embellishments on select styles
  • Tone-on-tone stitching on select styles
  • A decorative tail and cotton lining across all models

All pieces are handcrafted in Ukraine at the brand's own production in Lviv.

How to Wear

The RB beret integrates naturally into a range of looks without requiring a specific context. Worn slightly to one side, it adds a considered element to both minimal and layered outfits. Cotton and denim styles work alongside tailored separates or relaxed neutral layers, while the crystal-embellished beret functions as a focal point within a clean, understated look.

As a year-round accessory, the beret style hat adapts to wardrobe shifts across seasons without being tied to a single occasion or aesthetic. It moves easily between urban dressing, travel, and more formal contexts.
