This hat is a throwback cloche made with “all but two” floral-patterned silks. A kitchen sink hat (many silks combined into one piece), it is like a garden bed full of perennials, your own English Garden, a dense and rich collection of flowers. With marvelous textures in the velour, sequins, beads, or dense silk flowers that sit atop of the wool rather than get felted in, this is a feast for those who appreciate texture in their fashion.

Description
This hat is handmade felt. The silk materials are 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 blocked over a vintage wooden block to shape. The brim is wired, and an elastic inner band is sewn in by hand helping keep the hat on your head. Finally it is trimmed with a simple yet sophisticated velour headband.
This hat fits a large-sized head, 23.00-24.00″. If you have questions about fit, please contact me.
