Late 1930s / Early 1940s Green Straw Hat with Grosgrain Ribbon

A striking and highly collectible straw hat dating to the late 1930s to early 1940s, distinguished by its bold green hue and minimalist grosgrain ribbon detailing.

Crafted from early millinery straw with a beautifully tactile, organic weave, this hat features a tall rounded crown and a sculpted medium-width brim. The wide grosgrain band is finished with flat ribbon tails at the back — a refined, graphic detail characteristic of late-1930s and early wartime design.

The colour is exceptional: a deep, saturated green rarely found in straw hats of this era, lending the piece a strong, fashion-forward presence while remaining timeless.

The condition is outstanding — immaculate vintage condition with no wear to the straw or trim, making this a rare surviving example of pre–mid-century millinery.

An exceptional piece for collectors, stylists, or anyone drawn to confident, architectural vintage design.
