*as is* this beautiful hat is authentic and has a lot of life left in it - however the material between the hat and lining that was used to give it additional shape has deteriorated due to age. Not really possible to picture because you can’t see it.. but little bits of it can come out from the very top inside of the hat. It’s like little bits of straw. It’s a very minor issue - the hat is totally wearable in its current state, but it also seems like an easy fix to DIY or take to a professional. It belonged to my partner’s grandma and she took great care of it, so it’s in great shape otherwise. It’s real fur, I think mink but not positive, I’m definitely not a fur expert! The top is black suede. No size listed but it fits perfectly on my average size head. Let me know if you have any other questions! If you’re into this style I’m also listing a YSL mink coat, and Escada mink-trimmed skirt and jacket set that belonged to my partner’s grandma as well. She had amazing taste! ❤️
