Vintage 1960s John Andrew of California Pink Feather Pillbox Hat Mauve Plum Feather Cocktail Hat Mid Century Millinery

Vintage John Andrew of California Pink Feather Pillbox Hat – 1960s Mauve Plum Feather Cocktail Hat

Description

A fabulous vintage John Andrew of California pillbox hat covered in layers of sleek, beautifully arranged feathers in an unusual palette of dusty rose, mauve, plum and pink.

The feathers are carefully overlapped around the structured cylindrical body, creating a wonderfully fluid, almost hair-like texture with subtle variations in color and sheen. Depending on the light, the feathers shift from rosy pink and muted raspberry to deeper plum and violet tones, giving the hat exceptional visual depth.

The classic tall pillbox silhouette is distinctly mid-century, while the dramatic all-over feather treatment gives it a glamorous and slightly avant-garde quality. The crown is finished in coordinating deep plum fabric, allowing the feather-covered sides to remain the focal point.

Inside, the hat retains its original "John Andrew of California" designer label along with coordinating purple grosgrain finishing and a dark structured interior.

An especially striking example of 1960s statement millinery and a wonderful choice for collectors who appreciate unusual color, texture and sculptural design.
