Embroidered Cream Hat with Floral Design。This outstanding designer ADOLFO II vintage hat is made of pale gold straw, edged in soft pink. The crown is short and oval shaped, with an indentation at the top. The partial wide brim is upturned and shaped like a \"shell\". In the center front there is a straw bow and some matching curly feathers. There is an elastic band attached to the inside of the hat to help keep it in place. This is an amazing look! Label: ADOLFO II. New York Paris Adolfo (Sardina) (1933-2021) began his career as a milliner. After an apprenticeship with Balenciaga as a teenager, he moved to New York in 1948 and became an apprentice milliner at Bergdorf Goodman. In 1962, he opened his own millinery house with a $10,000 loan from Bill Blass. In 1963 he launched a bridge line, Adolfo Réalités, and Adolfo II. Some of Adolfo’s hats during the early 1960s were designed to accompany the clothing of Norman Norell. This is an authentic piece of fashion history! This hat is in wonderful vintage condition & has been lovingly preserved among over 1300 vintage hats we have collected for 40+ years. Feathers, straw, furs, flowers & veils are fragile, given their age. Mannequin not for sale.
