1950s Clover Lane Vintage Ivory Straw Hat with Feather | Mid Century Tilt Cocktail Hat | Vintage Bridal Hat

Vintage 1950s Clover Lane Ivory Straw Tilt Hat with Sculpted Bow & Dramatic Feather

Description

An exceptionally chic circa 1950s Clover Lane tilt hat crafted from finely woven ivory straw with a beautifully sculpted, shallow oval silhouette. Designed to sit high and slightly forward on the head, this striking piece captures the elegant architectural millinery styles of the mid-century era.

The finely woven straw creates a subtle sheen and wonderful texture throughout the rounded body. At the crown, matching straw is manipulated into a sculptural bow and rosette-like accent, creating dimensional interest while maintaining the sophisticated monochromatic design.

The defining detail is a single long ivory feather sweeping dramatically upward and outward from the crown. Its exaggerated line provides a wonderful contrast to the compact silhouette of the hat and gives the piece an unmistakably glamorous 1950s profile.

The interior is finished with its original grosgrain headband, securing loops, and original Clover Lane maker's label.

With its warm ivory-to-champagne coloring and elegant sculptural form, this hat would be especially beautiful for a vintage-inspired bride seeking something more distinctive than a traditional veil. It is equally suited to cocktail wear, Derby styling, garden parties, fashion photography, theatrical costuming, or a serious vintage millinery collection.
