Vintage Neiman Marcus Red Velvet bandeau hat 1940's

This hat is a vintage Neiman Marcus red velvet bandeau or half-hat, from the 1940s, a period when elaborate hats and headpieces were a significant part of women's fashion. Neiman Marcus was known for its high-quality fashion items and worked with designers to offer exclusive pieces. Brand: Neiman Marcus Material: The headpiece is crafted from red velvet. Style: It features an arched, bandeau-style design that sits on the head, which was a popular cocktail or dress hat style in the mid-20th century. Origin: Some similar vintage Neiman Marcus hats were made in France. I have painstakingly kept, carefully stored, and loved this and my other heirloom hats for over 20 years. The economy being what it is, I can’t eat these hats so I must sell them. My loss is your awesome once-in a lifetime score!
