Vtg 1920s Flapper Cloche Hat Metallic Braided Brocade Cording Wood Beads Taupe. Stunning cloche Art Deco vintage 1920s roaring 20s flapper hat!!! Embellished with woven, twisted and braided brocade piping or decoration with wood beaded accents highlighting the interior shapes in the decorative detailing. The material is a satiny shimmery material… Perhaps a silk charmeuse??? In a taupe sand color on the exterior and a peachy interior lining. Minor soiling interior bottom and had been stored folded so the folds will need to “relax” on head form. The quintessential flapper cloche!! A bit about charmeuse. The word “charmeuse” comes from the French word for a female charmer. This etymology speaks to the beauty of charmeuse fabric and its traditional use in women’s clothing, especially formal dresses. Its history goes back much further, however, to the ancient Chinese discovery of silk. While the exact date of the discovery is debatable, legend has it that silk was discovered around 2700 BCE by the Chinese emperor’s wife. For centuries, it was a highly guarded commodity and exported only as a finished product. Charmeuse has traditionally been associated with nobility due to its luxurious look–it has even been called the Fabric of Emperors. Charmeuse’s alternative name of crepe back satin refers to the weave that creates the fabric, which can be achieved with either silk or polyester yarn. “Satin weave” refers to a weave where the face of the charmeuse fabric is covered with floating warp yarns (or filling yarns) and no twill line is visible. This creates a smooth and often shiny surface, though it also makes the fabric more difficult to sew. The back of charmeuse gets a crepe effect due to crepe yarns (hard twisted yarns, which are twisted more than regular yarn in the manufacturing process), woven throughout the filling yarns. The crepe back makes the satin a bit easier to work with, as it becomes stronger and less slippery. Charmeuse has traditionally been a popular fabric for women’s clothing.
