1960s Poppy Pillbox Hat - Vintage Red Poppy Hat - V Day Hat - Straw Pillbox Hat - 1960s Straw Hat - Natural Straw Hat - Floral Pillbox Hat
Professional construction from with no design label but a milliners union label can be found at the interior. The hat is done in an ultra fine natural woven straw, styled as a pillbox toque hat and features a beautiful arrangement of silk millinery flowers. The flowers are done in red, white and blue with a vivid red poppy right in front. A gorgeous hat for Veterans Day.
Condition is listed as good plus. The straw foundation is structurally sound, with all flowers still intact. I note a small pinch of metal that may have held a tag at the rear of the hat, this is an insignificant notation, however noted for full disclosure. There is some overall foxing noted to the surface of the straw, this is visible in the photos provided. You will also find this notation reflected in the price. Some general mussing to the flowers, however they all present beautifully, A lovely hat to add to your line up.
