Wow—a quintessential Audrey Hepburn/Breakfast at Tiffany’s hat, so popular these days! Early to mid 60’s vintage. This one is fashioned from semi-sheer chiffon (woven, not knit, nylon, I believe), with very interesting construction. The crown is covered with individual, overlapping chiffon “petals” or leaves, giving a slight dimensional look. Brim features the chiffon covering in a swirled design. (See additional photos for details.) Very chic, and makes this hat really stand out from similar styles. I haven’t seen an Audrey hat this nice! The look is completed with a velvet ribbon and bow around crown base. No maker’s label, but does have a union label. Exterior is clean, excellent to near-mint condition. I see one very small break in the mesh frame. Measures approx. 21″ in diameter. I take a 22” hat, and this is just a hair too small for me. |

This 1950's beaded & sequined hat is perfect for a cocktail party or formal dinner, or as a wedding cap. Its fishscale sequins are patterned in a swirly, scalloped design. At the crown, sequins and glass beads form a beautiful leaf-like pattern. (Lots of photos provided; click on the link.) Made by Aristocrat and sold at the B. Forman Company, a now-closed (as, sadly, so many of them are) upscale department store of the era in Rochester, NY. This is nearly a “one size fits all,” as its placement is flexible and the sides that pinch in over the ears will expand. I’ve measured it, though, and it’s 8 1/4″ from front to back, 4 7/8″ between the ear pieces (unstretched). Unless you have a very small or very large head, this should fit. Excellent condition, with only light soiling on the faille trim at the tips of the ears, not visible when hat is worn. I see no loose or missing sequins or beads. |

Vintage 50's Aristocrat Sequined & Glass Beaded Cocktail Hat, Bridal Cap |

We’re delighted to present this rare reproduction Paulette hat, by Olympic Stylemaster with “Princess” body made in Italy of fine lustre hare’s fur. Paulette was one of the most well-known of the great Paris milliners, designing from the 20s into the 80s. This elegant hat, likely from the 60s, has a slouch look to it, but is slightly more structured so that the folds & tucks stay put. (I’ve posted lots of photos, including lightened ones so you can see the great details.) Wonderful construction in a fabulous fur—rich black, ultra-soft, lush, and lustrous (as its name would indicate). Hats in this fur are hard to find and are very expensive when you can. Rarer, and, in my opinion, much more wearable than mink. Nice size as well, approx. 21¾″ in circumference. Crown about 5½” high. Near-mint condition; I’d be surprised if it’d been worn more than once or twice. |

Wonderful paisley mod Breton hat in the “Madeline” or “Gigi” style, ca. 1960s. “Modern Miss” brand. Made of a lovely wool with a pronounced weave that gives nice texture. The style and colors—green, purple, red, blue, grey, white—will go with so many different fall & winter coats, jackets, sweaters, etc. Brim is deep and wide, lined toward the crown side in green fabric. Labeled size 22, but actual measurement is about 21¼″ around circumference. Excellent condition; buckram crown and fabric lining have some wrinkling, but the wool shell has held its shape nicely! |

Pretty pink 1950’s cocktail hat also makes a great bridal cap to wear with a soft pink gown. This looks lovely with the 1930’s lace gown I have listed on the dress page—check that out! Coiled pink cord and iridescent sequins alternate in rows over the buckram frame, and soft pink velvet trims the edges. Cap is structured, but will fit a range of head sizes. Measures 7 1/2″ front to back and 7 1/4″ side to side over the ears. Based on how this fits me, I’d say that if you take a small hat size, this may be too large, unless your hairstyle is “big,” or will be for your special occasion. No maker’s or store labels on this anonymous beauty. Excellent condition, with light soiling on the velvet trim at the ears, not visible when hat is worn. I see no loose or missing sequins. |

Cool summer hat from Gwenn Pennington, ca. 1960s. Made of a fine, tightly woven straw or straw-look fabric, features a two-tone color combination: cream crown and light taupe on the brim, and cream again on the slightly rolled edge of the brim. Wide pleated satin-twill band with a straw bow and real feather. Measures 21” around petersham band on inside; fits my 21 1/2″ head, but a bit snugly. Near-mint condition, shows no wear except for a couple tiny spots of soil on the inside of the crown. |

Ladies’ Vintage Deerskin Driving or Riding Gloves |
|
These high-quality, table-cut & handsewn gloves are of super-soft and durable deerskin leather. Table cutting is used in the making of fine gloves to ensure lasting fit and comfort. Brand-new, gloves like these sell for about $75 to $95! Natural in color and finished with contrasting brown thread, they'll go with most fall & winter bags, coats, and suits. The raised & stitched decorative treatment along the backs is very stylish, more chic than the usual glove embellishment. Slightly longer than wrist length. Leather surface has the pebbled grain of deerskin. Unlined for best feel while driving or riding. Hand washable. Labeled size 7 1/2. I take a small to medium glove, and these fit me very well. From tip to base, the middle finger measures just about 2 3/4″. Very good condition. As with any natural skin, there are a few surface flaws inherent in the leather, and also a handful of marks from wear (primarily on the palms, which is normal). Stitching is tight & solid all around. Gloves have been cleaned & conditioned, ready to wear on arrival. |
