NAME ‘KATOOMBA’
This beanie’s namesake, Katoomba, is the biggest town in the Blue Mountains. Being over 1000 metres above sea level, this is a place where you can be wearing your beanies all year round!

Katoomba itself is a patchwork of heritage listed buildings mixed with the relaxed vibe of locals and holidaymakers all mingling in shared coops, antique shops and cafes. Whether visiting for a bush walk to see the world heritage Blue Mountains National Park or just strolling along the main street this modern slouchy beanie will keep you looking good, on trend and most importantly warm and cosy :)
