This cloche embodies Art Deco in the 1920/30's. Art Deco design is characterized by layered shapes, intricate line art, aerodynamic shapes and metallic colors like gold and chrome. This zigzag modern take on the 20's cloche is a one of a kind show-stopper. The hat band is an upcycled beaded strap from a dress and some petals on the 3D flower are done made using un-felted silk, emphasizing the size of the original silk pattern. A real statement piece, it can be worn to an even or a special night out, or simply as daywear teamed with a warm sweater or wool coat. Glamour and Luxury, Art-Deco inspired wearable art. -
Brownie Wise was the ultimate party planner, inventing the idea of home parties to promote Tupperware in the 1950's. During convention weekend Jubilees lavish gifts and rewards were presented and elaborate treasure hunts were done with prizes buried underground. This hat, "Brownie Mae", would be what she would choose to wear. Stylish, commanding and luxurious. Her desire for happiness helped recruit thousands of women into a career at a time when a woman's role was conventionally tied to the home. In 1954 she became the first woman to appear on the cover of Business Week magazine. This hat is handmade felt. The upcycled sequined silk fabric is fused with raw merino wool in a process of wet felting called nuno felting. Once the fabric/felt hood is created, it is blocked over a vintage heated block and shaped by hand. The silk velour hat band is dyed to match the peach/red tone of the felt. This hat is halfway between a regular felt and gossamer in its weight, with the density of the sequins helping to create structure. Beautiful from every angle, comfortable, and yes...sensible. This hat fits a small-sized head, 21.25-21.5″ in circumference. If you have any questions about size, please contact me. "No Matter who you are, you alone can give the world something that it can get from no other source" - Brownie Wise. -
When you wear a hat or any fashion that "fits" physically and stylistically you stand taller, feeling more secure and confident. You know today is going to be a good day...equal to a great hair day or simply driving when all the traffic lights turn green as you commute to work. Deborah is one of those "sure thing" additions to your wardrobe. She's luxurious to feel and looks like a foreign fabric, perhaps fur. People won't believe she's handmade felt with her muted colors and subtle patterns. The hint of animal print on the edge, she will support any look you want, be it casual or on a night out. You won't have to say a word with her on, people will take note of it promoting the beautiful you... She's a woman of action and few words. -

A modern fabric handmade by fusing silk velour with wool, this hat catches the light emphasizing its beauty with a nod to vintage design. Wear it with a wool coat, feather boa, high-necked sweater, or cashmere shawl, this hat wants to accompany you on every outing you take this winter and fall. Versatile, a simple design, and oh, so luxurious...
