Created for exhibition with the Milliners Guild, remembering the Straw Hat Riots of the 1920s. This was a commemoration as well as a sustainability challenge and this carefully cra fted piece utilizes previously unused, damaged, millinery materials, homemade plant dyes, and material scraps to create a hand cut and shaped bouquet of wildflowers sprouting forth from a distressed straw boater. Wired headband, elastic, and comb attachment. Lifted Millinery headwear is constructed with time honored techniques and fine craftsmanship. All hats are meticulously blocked and sewn by hand without the use of adhesives to attach trims. This ensures a long lasting hat with the ability to be retrimmed throughout the years. A hat box for careful storage is included with every hat purchase. Show more
