Vintage Black Straw Hat August Black Feather Cocktail Hat Wide Brim 1990s Designer Occasion Hat

Vintage 1990s August Black Straw Hat with Feather & Tulle Trim

A striking late 1990s designer hat by August, crafted in structured black woven straw with a sculptural low crown and softly extended brim. This piece is elevated by an artful composition of black tulle, a dramatic upward feather flourish, and a soft plume detail—creating movement, texture, and unmistakable presence.

The design reflects the refined glamour of 1990s occasionwear, where classic millinery forms were given modern drama through bold, monochromatic embellishment. Elegant yet expressive, this hat makes a confident statement without sacrificing versatility.

A timeless black hat with couture-level attitude.
