Description

This is a one-of-a-kind hand-blocked ladies straw hat by local couture milliner La Bricoleuse. The hat's band and brim binding are made from a generous bias cut of vintage necktie silk; it features a vintage feather spray of pheasant and dindonneau. This hat is fully lined in crosswoven orange silk dupioni and measures 22" around the head size opening (size 7 hat). "La Bricoleuse" is the nom de chapeau of Rachel E. Pollock, the resident milliner at PlayMakers Repertory Company. Ms. Pollock also teaches historical millinery in the costume production MFA program at UNC-Chapel Hill.
