Vintage 1950s DIOR French Felt Hat Mushroom Brim Chimney Crown Cocoa & Black
A wonderful, genuine vintage chapeau from Cristian Dior. Dates to the late 1950s to very early 1960s. This is very well preserved. So very Audrey Hepburn! The style is a bit reminiscent of the hat worn by her in the film Breakfast At Tiffanys, with a deep wide mushroom brim and a small tall chimney crown. Made of the finest French fur felt (not wool) the felt is thick and buttery soft and supple, feels like velvet, in a rich color of dark chocolate brown. The crown has a sash of heavy black satin and a flat bow in back. The brim slopes down so low, that you can hide your eyes for a sexy peek-a-book effect. This hat will never go out of style and is sure to be a favorite you will wear again and again. And it is a Dior darling! Wat else can I say about this gorgeous, classic and iconic vintage hat? The photos tell the story best. Label is Christian Dior Chapeaux, Paris New York. Perfect for wearing for afternoon tea, special events, to the art gallery, cocktails at the Ritz in Paris, etc. Get ready to be noticed if you dare to wear this marvelous hat! Please scroll down to read full details and see all the over 15 photos. I show the hat placed on a full sized adult millinery head. No size label, this hat fits a range of heads. The inside of the crown is on the small size, on purpose, as the hat is meant to sit atop the head, with the wide sloping mushroom crown coming down to the eyebrows. If the crown were any larger, the bottom edge of the brim would sit on the wearer’s nose! I think the chimney corwn is purposely made to be a bit slanted, giving it a bit of a non symetrical style.
