“We are very excited to open a show room in Burlington’s art district to showcase our newest collections of hats and accessories. We strongly believe in local production and supporting our local community, the art district fits perfectly into who we are,” commented Corinne Prevot, founder and owner of Skida Headwear & Accessories. “The Open House is a wonderful opportunity to thank our loyal customers and to introduce the brand to new fans.”
Prevot contributes much of her success and her growth to her team, Margie Prevot, Caitlin Mitchell and Sarah Micioni, who each have specific roles in the business, from accounting to account development to production management. Skida continues to grow with product available in over 240 retailers in North America, Japan, and Europe.
The brand first got its start in 2007 with owner Corinne Prevot hand-sewing hats for her teammates at Burke Mountain Academy and expanding the operation with her mother while attending Middlebury College. The brand took off and today, cottage industry sewers in the Northeast Kingdom sew the hats and accessories. The Cashmere Collection is made exclusively for Skida in Nepal.
Founded in 2008 by Corinne Prevot, Skida Headwear & Accessories offers men’s, women’s and kid’s product lines. The original Vermont Collection features products made from a poly micro blend fabric in limited edition prints, and is produced locally in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. As a ski racer, Prevot started Skida while at Burke Mountain Academy and Middlebury College, both in Vermont, making and selling the headwear to teammates and at ski races. In 2013, Prevot opened Skida headquarters in Burlington, Vermont’s south end arts district. The newly introduced Cashmere Collection is made exclusively for Skida in Nepal. Skida is available on-line at www.shopskida.com and in select resort, specialty and ski shops in North America. Custom orders are available.
