Vintage 1950s Black Straw Cloche Hat Velvet Bow Union Made Mid Century Women's Woven Hat

Vintage 1950s Black Woven Straw Cloche Hat with Velvet Bow – Union Made Mid Century Women's Hat

Description

A beautifully structured vintage 1950s black woven straw hat featuring a rounded crown, softly shaped brim and dramatic black velvet ribbon and bow trim.

The hat is constructed from glossy black woven straw with a wonderfully textured open weave that catches the light and gives the otherwise monochromatic design added dimension. The tall rounded crown transitions into a narrow, softly downturned brim, creating a silhouette influenced by the classic cloche while reflecting the more structured millinery styles of the 1950s.

A wide band of plush black velvet encircles the base of the crown and forms an oversized tailored bow at the front. Long pointed ribbon ends extend onto the brim, giving the restrained black-on-black design a particularly elegant architectural quality.

The interior retains its original black grosgrain headband and a Union Made millinery label, confirming American manufacture. No designer or retailer label is visible.

An exceptionally wearable vintage black hat with enough drama for formal styling while remaining sophisticated and versatile.
