£37.00
Striking genuine vintage purple wool percher / tilt hat, believed to date from around the 1960s–1970s. Made in England from 100% wool, with the original label still present inside. This is a beautifully constructed older millinery piece with a structured deep purple wool crown, dramatic lilac and purple feather plume and matching birdcage-style veil. Designed to sit tilted on the head in the traditional percher style. There are no modern clips or combs attached; hats of this type would traditionally have been secured with hat pins. A fantastic statement piece for vintage collectors, theatrical or costume wear, weddings, race days, gothic styling, editorial shoots or anyone looking for a genuinely unusual piece of vintage millinery.
