A portrait of mid-century elegance, The Velvet Hour Hat captures that fleeting moment between afternoon and evening, when the city softens, and glamour quietly takes its place. Crafted from rich black velvet in a dramatic cartwheel silhouette, this 1950s piece is finished with a sweeping black egret feather that moves with effortless grace.
Designed for polished luncheons, early cocktails, or that in-between hour when plans are still unfolding, it’s the kind of hat that makes an entrance without saying a word.

Brooklyn Grrrl Vintage takes great care to note any flaws and to describe conditions, but vintage means pre-loved and will show normal signs of age. After all, they have lived a life of their own before starting their next journey with you! This is what makes vintage items beautiful and unique. Thank you for understanding!
Please reach out with any questions.
