20's VINTAGE CLOCHE HAT - FINE MILLINERY ARTISTRY!
Twenties vintage flapper era cloche hat. Rusty orange fine woven straw and faille. The milliners of the twenties were extraordinary artists! This hat exhibits that amazing artistry. The hat consists of a combination of finely woven straw and a novelty faille. Most of the hat is covered with the faille with banded straw trim. The straw is woven in a pattern of concentric circles and asymmetrically positioned on the top front left with two sculpted & tucked faille tabs that overlap at the crown top. Black silk lining with label at crown. Lovely subtle wearable art!
