Borsalino






Two very fine quality vintage Borsalino velour felts came my way and I just wanted to share their beauty. The ruby red one has already sold to a lovely petite client with grey/white hair and the colour looks sensational on her. I still have the very dark green one here to make and am just contemplating the design..................

Some Vintage Inspiration


This is classic vintage and I love the look. I often have a client ask for this style of hat and........ for all out there the correct name for this hat style is a pillbox (not a Pillar Box! that's a letter box !) Hard to wear well and this one works well because the flowers add softness to the sides of the otherwise rigid style.
