MINT 1950s Royal Blue Straw Cocktail Hat with Birdcage Veil & Lily Details
Step back into mid-century elegance with this pristine 1950s royal blue cocktail hat, freshly curated by Pretty Please Vintage. Sourced from a private collection in historic downtown Nashville, this architectural piece is an absolute dream for collectors, vintage enthusiasts, or anyone styling an authentic mid-century look.
Crafted from a brilliantly vibrant royal blue woven straw, the hat features a soft dome crowned with tailored pleating around the brim. It is delicately accented with tiny white lilies on green stems peeking out from the folds, and finished with a dramatically sweet black birdcage veil that drops over the eyes.
The structural condition is entirely mint and immaculate inside and out—the interior reveals crisp, undamaged millinery construction with zero signs of wear, makeup transfer, fading, or age.
Condition Note: The structural condition of the hat itself remains entirely mint and immaculate inside and out. The interior reveals crisp, undamaged millinery construction with zero signs of wear, makeup transfer, fading, or age. The woven straw body and silk florals are perfect. The black netting veil holds its structural volume beautifully, though please note there is one small, minor hole in the mesh typical of age (hardly noticeable when worn, but priced accordingly).
