Immaculate Mid-Century Chocolate Brown Felt Cocktail Hat with Sequin Detail & Grosgrain Ribbon Trim

A striking and beautifully preserved mid-century cocktail hat in rich chocolate brown felt, finished with delicate metal sequin detailing and a sculptural grosgrain ribbon trim in earthy tones.

The felt remains vibrant and perfectly shaped, with no visible wear, fading, or storage marks. The decorative sequins are all intact and secure, and the layered grosgrain ribbon trim retains its crisp structure and colour with no fraying. Even the elastic fastener is remarkably strong and supple, showing none of the deterioration often found in pieces of this age.

 Once placed on the head, the hat sits comfortably and securely, making it not only visually striking but also genuinely wearable.

 

Pieces in this condition are increasingly rare. After six to seven decades, it still presents as if it has been carefully stored since the day it was made.
