Striking vintage mid-century cocktail hat featuring rich raspberry / wine colored velvet with decorative bows and original veiling.

This classic tilt style hat sits slightly angled on the head and was a popular formal accessory during the 1940s–1950s. The deep jewel tone velvet gives it a beautiful dramatic look that pairs well with vintage dresses, church outfits, weddings, or theatrical styling.

The hat features:

• Structured velvet crown

• Decorative velvet bows on both sides

• Original net veil detail

• Satin interior lining

The color reads as a deep raspberry / wine tone depending on lighting.

Condition:

Pre-owned vintage condition. The velvet body remains in nice shape with normal age wear. The veil netting shows visible damage and breakage in several areas from age and handling. Many collectors choose to remove or replace vintage veils, but it is currently still attached. Please review photos carefully for condition details.

No maker tag present.
