Hilma Af Klint was an Swedish artist ahead of her time – blending botany, science, mysticism, and spirit into work the world wasn’t ready for. Trained at Stockholm’s Royal Academy of Fine arts in 1887 – rare for a women – she created some of the first abstract paintings, then chose to keep them hidden for decades after her death.

She trusted what she saw, even when no one else did.

This deep cloche carries that same quiet certainty.  Structured yet soft, patterned like a secret language, it sits low and close – like a thought you keep just for yourself.

I feel that she would have loved this hat, a chance to wear her art before anyone knew it existed…

Description

This hat is handmade “from scratch” by fusing an upcycled silk dress and merino wool in a process called nuno (wet) felting.  Once the felt is formed, the hat is stiffened and shaped over a vintage block.  It features a deep crown and an asymmetrical brim.  There is an elasticated band on the inside of the hat to hold it in place on your head.  This hat has sufficient depth allowing you to pull it right down to your eyebrow, or leave it higher at the front of your head, whatever way you wish to wear it.  A vintage look with a unique floral motif, this hat is sure to turn heads while protecting you from winter!

Fits a medium-sized head, 21.75-22.5″ in size.  If you have questions about fit, please let me know.

 

Be  like Hilma – keep something just for yourself.  A vision, a feeling, a quiet certainty.  Wear this, and let the world meet you on your own terms.
