Vintage 1950s Gold Brown Straw Pillbox Hat Black Velvet Birdcage Veil Women's Mid Century Cocktail Hat

Vintage 1950s Gold & Brown Straw Pillbox Hat – Black Velvet Trim & Birdcage Veil Cocktail Hat

Description

A striking vintage circa 1950s pillbox cocktail hat featuring an intricately woven straw crown in warm golden tan and deep brown, dramatically finished with black velvet trim and a sweeping black birdcage veil.

The rounded crown is constructed from alternating natural-toned golden and dark brown straw strands arranged vertically and gathered toward the center, creating beautiful dimension, movement and visual texture. The contrasting colors of the straw produce a distinctive striped effect without the use of metallic materials.

A small black velvet-covered button accents the center of the crown, while a wide band of plush black velvet finishes the base. Fine black netting extends across the crown and beyond the edge of the hat to create a dramatic face veil.

The combination of warm two-tone straw, rich black velvet and delicate veiling gives this hat wonderful depth while maintaining the compact, polished silhouette characteristic of mid-century cocktail millinery.
