Vintage 1950s Union Made Black Velvet Hat | Metallic Striped Sculptural Mid Century Women's Hat

Vintage 1950s Union Made Black Velvet Striped Sculptural Hat

Description

A striking vintage Union Made hat dating to approximately the 1950s, featuring an architectural sculptural design in rich black velvet accented with narrow metallic striped ribbon.

The hat has a structured, close-fitting crown surrounded by a dramatic asymmetrical rolled brim. Black velvet is beautifully contrasted with narrow woven stripes in silver, champagne and muted gold tones, arranged in sweeping diagonal and horizontal lines that emphasize the unusual construction.

A wide black grosgrain ribbon encircles the crown, while the striped velvet treatment continues across the top and around the sculpted brim. The combination of texture, metallic accents and strong geometric lines gives this hat a sophisticated mid-century look.

The interior construction and Union Made identification further support its vintage American millinery origins. An especially distinctive piece for a collector who appreciates unusual 1950s hat construction and dramatic silhouettes.
