Chapeaux by Simone

I have never seen such a lovely specimen of Victorian adornment outside a museum.  I love that it is sitting on a bucket hat! It’s a great combination of history and current fashion. There are handmade berries and ostrich feathers and an Edwardian cufflink.

I hope she likes it! It’s a gorgeous wool (made in USA) Victorian Caroler style (get it, Carol, Caroler! Hee!) top hat with a vintage wedding tiara that I took apart and reworked with feathers, rhinestones and a beautiful pavé crystal butterfly shoe clip from the 1950s. The tiara comes off the hat and can [...]

Elmer Fudd would be jealous of this gem.  It’s a fifties-era wool buffalo plaid hunting cap with ear-flaps that fold up or down. Flaps down. Flaps up. Cute, huh? Kind of a cadet cap look. SO warm!  I’ve added a removable wabbit fur pin (sorry bunny!) with a couple of vintage buttons centered. Not sure [...]

I love the lacy pattern on this woven hat. It’s not straw, feels more like a sweater; I could not get the color to come out right in photos but it’s a beautiful deep grape-jelly purple. I added a festive silver and glittery purple ribbon and floral spray, both of which could come off if [...]

Honestly? I don’t know if this is real fur but it sure feels like it.  An unbelievably soft hand. Made in Eng-a-land by the excellent Kangol company. The gold filigree adornment is a signed Musi shoe clip from the 1960s, a collector’s dream, if there were two of them. Luckily it works beautifully as a [...]

Don’t buy this hat.  Okay, I suppose you can buy this hat. It would look fabulous on me you.  I LOVE IT SO MUCH though!  It is my favorite color combo, pink and brown, lookit. There is a tag inside that says Miss Bierner; I am guessing this hat is from the fifties or perhaps [...]

A cute and warm vintage felt topper with an attached brown rose spray. Three curled feathers add motion and glamour. See the pretty lace insets in the rose? The tag inside reads “Sandswept.” Size: 22 inches, will fit most women. Measure your head to make sure it will fit the way you like. Price: $35.00 [...]

This lavender Aussie hat is the cutest ever! Made in Australia, this multi-season sueded hat will literally hold water to cool off on a hot day and keep you warm and dry in the cold! The detachable silver snowflake pin adds a touch of sparkle and fun to this festive chapeau. Size: M. (~23 inches, [...]

Okay, that’s not all. There’s more. A removable fur spray with vintage jewel center. Vintage curly feathers. Dove grey and black and silver. A velvety hand and chic pedigree add up to the most fab porkpie hat I’ve ever seen;  add a dash of Dean Martin, the French Connection and Joni Mitchell for historical accuracy. [...]
