A spectacular genuine vintage chapeau from Elsa Schiaparelli. Dates to the very early 1950s and is very well preserved. Dramatic extra wide brim platter or cartwheel that defines the “New Look Era” of fashion and millinery. Made of layers and layers of an unusual glossy soft material that is hand cut and reminds us of burning embers or charcoal, very unique and interesting. Underneath is a half cap that clutches the head and holds the hat at the angle of your choosing. Measures almost 20 across, very dramatic. The perfect hat to wear with your little black dress, dressy suit, or cocktail attire. 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 Schiaparelli of course! Wat else can I say about this gorgeous, classic and iconic vintage hat? The photos tell the story best. Label is SCHIAPARELLI PARIS in ivory satin and shocking pink script. We like ti worn tilted forward for a peek-a-boo effect that is very alluring. 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! Makes a very special gift. Please scroll down to read full details and see all the over 12 photos. I show the hat placed on a full sized adult millinery head. Fits a range of heads as the inner cap clutches and expands to fit. PLEASE SEE OUR AUCTIONS FOR MORE ANTIQUE and VINTAGE HATS, Clothing, AND MORE….
