Vintage 1960s Carol Black Gold Brocade Fedora Hat Pink Roses Metallic Floral Jacquard Women's Mid Century Millinery

Vintage 1960s Carol Black & Gold Brocade Hat – Pink Rose Floral Metallic Jacquard Fedora

Description
A spectacular vintage circa 1960s hat by Carol, fashioned from richly patterned metallic brocade with brilliant pink roses, golden yellow flowers, olive green foliage, and intricate gold motifs set against a dramatic black ground.

The hat features a tall, softly structured crown paired with a narrow turned brim, creating a wonderfully tailored fedora-inspired silhouette. The relatively simple shape allows the extraordinary textile to take center stage.

The brocade is especially striking, combining large vivid pink roses and golden floral motifs with shimmering metallic gold woven throughout the black background. Ornamental paisley-like and scrolling patterns fill the spaces between the flowers, giving the textile an opulent tapestry quality. Depending upon the light, the metallic threads shift from warm antique gold to brighter flashes of gold.

A simple black grosgrain ribbon encircles the base of the crown and finishes in understated tails at the side, providing a crisp visual break between the richly patterned crown and brim.

The interior reveals a lightweight black mesh foundation beneath the brocade and retains its original Carol manufacturer's label. The label appears to indicate Carol of South Carolina.

Bold, glamorous, and unmistakably mid-century, this is a particularly eye-catching example of the luxurious metallic brocade hats that complemented the colorful cocktail and evening fashions of the 1960s.
