Elsa Schiaparelli is known for surreal design and eccentric fashion.  She loved leopard fur and leopard print, and was well-known for her cheetah hat.  Elsa lived a creative and adventure-filled life, balking at societal expectations, becoming a ‘modern woman’ of the times; independence, creativity, and a passion for innovation.

This hat is for today’s modern woman.  Someone who enjoys structure yet likes to play with animal print.  Someone who values innovation and unique design.   This timeless piece will set an outfit apart by paying respect to the designs of the past but with a slightly taller crown, a definite head-turner.

Description

This hat is handmade felt.  The silk material is fused with raw merino wool in a process of wet felting called nuno felting.  Once the fabric/felt hood is created, it is stiffened and hand-blocked over an wooden crown and brim block.  The brim is wired and trimmed with a simple grosgrain, headband and bow.

This hat fits a large-sized head, 23.0-24.0″.  If you have questions about fit, please contact me.

“A dress has no life of its own, unless it is worn and as soon as this happens another personality takes over from you and animates it, or tries to, glorifies or destroys it, or makes it into a song of beauty”.  – Elsa Schiaparelli
