Vintage 1950s Green Velvet & Satin Leaf Cocktail Hat – Sculptural Corded Trim Union Made
Description
A wonderfully sculptural vintage 1950s cocktail hat featuring a dimensional arrangement of overlapping velvet and satin leaves in rich shades of olive green, moss, bronze, and muted gold. The foliage-covered crown is framed by dramatic loops and swirls of thick olive green corded velvet, creating an organic, almost botanical silhouette.
The hat is constructed over a lightweight open framework with netting beneath the individually applied leaves. The interior reveals the intricate hand-finished construction and retains its original Union Made label.
The combination of lush velvet, gleaming satin, earthy jewel tones, and exaggerated dimensional trim gives this piece a distinctly mid-century couture millinery look. Designed to sit high on the head rather than fit like a traditional full-crown hat, it is an exceptional statement piece for a collector or vintage wardrobe.

Condition
Good vintage condition with age-related wear consistent with its age and delicate construction. Some of the velvet and satin foliage shows light fraying, creasing, fading, and wear, particularly visible from the interior. The exposed interior construction and netting show age and wear as pictured. The decorative corded trim remains substantial and visually striking. Please review all photographs carefully for the most accurate representation of condition.
