Vintage 40s Wide Brim Straw Hat w/ Fabulous Silk Roses Kentucky Derby Hat Offered for sale is a very cute little 1950's era beige velvet cocktail hat. It is the clip style with two large matching fabric rosettes on one side. The front has two clear rhinestone clips attached in the swirl of the fabric. The only condition issue is some mild dirt on the left edge where it would come against your hair, otherwise a great little vintage hat.
This beautiful hat was made and labeled by Christine Originals. The wide brim is decorated on each side with two large silk and velvet flowers with green leaves and the stems. The hat is black and the crown is wrapped in navy velvet ribbon, bowed in the back. The front brim extends 4 inches and the back extends a mere 2 inches. Head size is a 22. The silk flowers are showing their age slightly but it only add to the vintage beauty of this extraordinary hat.
