This comprehensive mid-century millinery and accessory lot is a "closet find" for the serious vintage collector or theater costume department. Featuring five authentic 1940s-1950s hats and two genuine mink fur collars, this collection offers a complete range of textures and styles from the era. The entire set is housed in a large, vintage red circular hat box, perfect for protected storage or a striking retail display.
Key Features:
Hats Included: Pleated Blue Velvet Toque, Champagne Silk Floral Pillbox, Black Velvet Fascinator with Veil, and additional vintage silhouettes.
Fur Accessories: Two genuine mink fur collars (one Mahogany, one Blonde) originally designed for coat attachments or as small stoles.
Materials: High-grade vintage velvet, silk flowers, structured buckram, and genuine fur.
Storage: Large, sturdy red vintage hat box included.
Condition: The collection is graded as Very Good overall for its age. The hats remain structurally excellent with minimal fading. The blue toque and floral pillbox are particularly well-preserved. The black veils show expected light stiffening. Note on Furs: The mink fur is soft and supple (no shedding), but the backings and attachment stitching are worn/unfinished; these are included as "project" or "cutter" pieces for repair. The hat box shows external scuffing and paint loss but remains solid.
Fit / Use Case: This is an ideal starter kit for a vintage enthusiast or a costumer needing high-quality period-accurate accessories. The inclusion of the fur collars adds a layer of "Hollywood Regency" glamour that pairs perfectly with the structured millinery of the mid-century.
Trust & Transparency : Ships promptly and packaged with care in a large outer box to protect the hat box and contents. Feel free to message with any questions.
