Asymmetric Felt Hat
A refined interpretation of timeless millinery, this sculptural hat is handcrafted from premium felt and designed to rest lightly on the head with an elegant asymmetric silhouette. The gently upturned brim, finished with a refined bound edge, is complemented by a subtle pleated detail and a delicate bow at the back. Discreet elastic in a hair-matched tone ensures a secure and comfortable fit.
Effortlessly sophisticated, it is the perfect finishing touch for race days and elegant occasions, from Cheltenham to celebrations beyond.
