COLORFUL 1930s' CINNAMON COLOR CLOCHE WITH GROSGRAIN TRIM AND "CHERRIES"

This cinnamon colore=d fine straw cloche comes from the 1930s', and has a unique stile. The crown has an indentation resembling a rectangle at the top, and the short brim is folded in a very creative form, covering one eye. There are "cherries" attached to the front center, which adds drama to this look. NOTE: Due to age, the grosgrain shows some spotted discoloration, which actually adds to the allure of a remarkable piece of millinery history. Please see the closeup photos of some of the grosgrain pieces. Women’s 1930s hats were small and simple in decoration, yet their shaping was a work of art. Folded, molded, and angled felt made hats look like something out of a Picasso painting. Women’s hats in the 1930s covered the hair and were used to mysteriously cover one eye or the forehead. Cloche hats or otherwise called slouch hats were a very fitted hat usually made of a felt material that were bell shaped. The front brim could be floppy or sturdy and was used to cover the forehead and eyes. Label: SIZE 23 Consumers Protection label This is an authentic piece of fashion history!
