Original 1920's Flapper Cloche Hat With Metal Raffia Weave and Feather Trim

About the Item

This exquisite 1920s flapper cloche hat with metallic raffia weave is in excellent vintage condition. The hat is molded in soft red felt, with a gross-grain band on in the interior so that the hat easily retains its position when worn. The exterior is an elaborately textured weave of coral cotton thread and gunmetal raffia sculpted to form stylish folds and culminates with a starburst arrangement at the crown. The reverse of the piece is beautifully embellished with a spray of fabric styled to look like thistles, with coral coloured feather trim to finish. The designer is unknown, however the label holds the signature of the famous John Wannamaker Department Store of Philadelphia which was synonymous with luxury during this era and considered one of the most beautiful store buildings in the world. Will fit the full range of female head sizes due to the soft flexible construction.

    By Emilio Pucci
    Located in London, GB
    This desirable 1960s pale pink trouser suit is by celebrated Italian designer Emilio Pucci and is vibrant, contemporary and in very good vintage condition, showing only gentle signs of wear. Pucci designs are synonymous with luxury and often in printed silk hosting bold geometric designs and this lovely ensemble is a fine earlier example of his trademark look. The sleeveless silk chiffon blouse features a rose-window style design in marine blue, lime green and fuchsia on a sugar pink background, subtly emblazoned with the designers signature. There is an open shirt style neckline and a gently scalloped hem. The silk linen trousers are straight legged with a tapered ankle line and are neatly tailored at the navel, fastening to the side with a zip and button closure. This gorgeous set is as smart as it is opulent and would best suit a US size 2, UK size 6 or smaller. Our model is a UK 6-8 and 5ft 4in (163cm) and this outfit fit her well. TOP : Bust - 36 Waist 36" Length - 24" TROUSERS: Waist - 24" Hip 34"" Length - 38" Notes on the designer: During the 1960s, Pucci's signature look reigned as the ultimate status symbol for the decade, having created a perfect transition between luxurious couture and ready to wear lounge suits...
