Josephine Baker was known not only for her groundbreaking performances and magnetic stage presence but also for her bold fashion sense that mixed glamour, playfulness, and avant-garde flair. This richly decorated hat — with its beaded embellishments and vibrant color — fits perfectly with the kind of daring elegance she embodied. Imagine Josephine strolling the streets of Paris in the 1920s, pairing this hat with a tailored coat and a confident smile, turning sidewalks into runways. Your turn, 100 years later…

Description
This hat is handmade felt. The silk fabric is from several thrifted silk dresses and is fused with raw merino wool in a process of wet felting (nuno felting). Once the fabric/felt hood is created, it is blocked over a vintage heated block and shaped by hand. This cloche is warm, and perfect for keeping the weather off your hair while covering your ears in cold weather. There is plenty of room in the hat to house your hair and can even be folded up and tucked into a purse if you need to remove it while inside.
This hat fits a medium-sized head, 22.25-23.0″ in circumference. If you have any questions about size, please contact me. The hat can be stretched if your head is bigger than 23.0″ in circumference.
Embody some of Josephine’s artistry and sophistication with this hat. Be fierce, original, and impossible to ignore.
