Vintage Adolfo II Black Wide Brim Hat 1970s | Designer Berry Trim Picture Hat | New York Paris Millinery

Vintage Adolfo II Black Wide Brim Hat with Berry Trim | 1970s Designer Picture Hat | New York Paris Millinery

Dramatic vintage Adolfo II wide brim hat featuring an elegant all-black construction accented with sculptural clusters of glossy berries, leaves, and branches. Several of the berries retain flashes of red beneath the black finish, giving the embellishment a wonderfully dimensional, almost lacquered appearance.

The hat features a rounded structured crown surrounded by a broad, sweeping brim with woven edging. The asymmetrical berry arrangement travels generously around one side of the crown and across the brim, creating a striking botanical composition that changes beautifully depending on the angle from which the hat is viewed.

The interior retains its original ADOLFO II New York Paris label. Adolfo Sardiña was one of the notable names in American fashion and millinery, beginning his career as a milliner before expanding into ready-to-wear. This piece has the sophisticated, dramatic proportions associated with fashionable occasion hats of the 1970s.

A particularly striking designer hat with wonderful presence—equally suited to a serious vintage collection or contemporary editorial styling.
