Vintage 1960s Dark Navy Blue Velvet Turban Hat Sculptural Draped Ribbon Toque Women's Mid Century Union Made Millinery

Vintage 1960s Dark Navy Velvet Turban Hat – Sculptural Draped Ribbon Toque Union Made

Description

A beautifully sculptural vintage circa 1960s dark navy velvet turban-style hat, fashioned from layers of plush velvet ribbon arranged in sweeping, overlapping folds around the crown.

The hat is a rich, very dark navy blue with the characteristic depth and subtle sheen of velvet. Depending on the light, the color can appear nearly black, while brighter illumination reveals its deep blue tone.

Wide bands of velvet are wrapped and draped around the structured crown in an irregular layered pattern, creating wonderful dimension and movement. The folds rise toward the top of the hat in a softly gathered, almost rose-like formation, giving the otherwise monochromatic design an elegant sculptural quality.

The silhouette has the close-fitting, brimless shape associated with turban and toque styles of the mid-century period. Rather than relying on applied ornamentation, the velvet itself becomes the decoration, with the directional nap catching the light differently across each fold.

The interior retains its dark grosgrain band and original Union Made label, supporting its American mid-century manufacture.

A sophisticated and highly wearable vintage hat with an understated dramatic quality—particularly beautiful for fall and winter dressing, formal occasions, cocktail attire or a monochromatic navy ensemble.
