Vintage 1960s Veiled Pillbox Hat Metallic Brocade Floral Lurex Autumn Cocktail Hat Union Made USA

Vintage 1960s Metallic Brocade Veiled Pillbox Hat – Autumn Floral Lurex Cocktail Hat

Description

A spectacular vintage 1960s pillbox cocktail hat crafted in richly colored metallic brocade with an abstract floral pattern in autumnal shades of copper, burnt orange, olive green, gold, cream, black and warm brown. Metallic threads woven throughout the fabric give the hat a luminous finish that changes beautifully as it catches the light.

The structured pillbox silhouette features multiple narrow, padded folds of the brocade wrapped around the sides, creating wonderful dimensional texture while allowing the patterned fabric to remain the focal point. A coordinating warm taupe-brown diamond-pattern face veil drapes from the crown and extends below the hat for classic mid-century drama.

The interior is constructed over a lightweight brown mesh foundation and retains its original Union Made in U.S.A. label. The combination of metallic brocade, sculptural wrapped construction and face veil gives this hat a particularly glamorous late-1950s to early-1960s cocktail look.

A fabulous statement piece for autumn styling and an unusually colorful example of mid-century American millinery.

The damaged areas are visible in the photographs and the veil should be handled carefully. Minor age-related wear may also be present to the fabric and interior construction. Price reflects condition. Please review all photographs closely as they are considered part of the condition description.
