AN exhibition telling the story of Kangol is featured at a West Cumbrian museum.
The exhibition is being hosted at The Beacon Museum as part of the Fabric to Fashion event.
It will be showing until December 22 in the Light and Dark Gallery.
In a post on social media, The Beacon wrote: "What do you think about when you hear the word 'Kangol'?
"The iconic berets, the Kangol hats that adorned the heads of cultural icons such as The Beatles/Princess Diana, or working at the factories?
"In our Fabric to Fashion exhibition, you can uncover the stories of local manufacturers Kangol, Millers, Edgards, and Sekers, their role in the community, and how they exported their work around the world."
